I believe every one of these changes is wrong.
For instance:
case T_ScalarArrayOpExpr:
- coll = InvalidOid; /* result is always boolean */
+ coll = InvalidOid; /* result is always InvalidOid
*/
break;
The point here is that the result type of ScalarArrayOpExpr is boolean,
which has no collation, therefore reporting its collation as InvalidOid
is correct. Maybe there's a clearer way to say that, but your text is
more confusing not less so.
Likewise, the point of the annotations in exprSetCollation is to not
let a collation be applied to a node that must have a noncollatable
result type.
