I thought this was a good idea, but didn't hear back when I raised it before.
Failing to preserve access method is arguably a bug, reminiscent of CREATE STATISTICS and 5564c1181. But maybe it's not important to backpatch a fix in this case, since access methods are still evolving. https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/[email protected] On Sun, Aug 18, 2019 at 02:35:33PM -0500, Justin Pryzby wrote: > .

Speaking of which, I think LIKE needs a new option for ACCESS METHOD, which > is otherwise lost.
