Hm. My experience in the past was that the best way to test an external AM is to run the core regression tests with a different default_table_access_method. That does require some work of ensuring the AM is installed and the relevant extension created, which in turn requires a different test schedule, or hacking template1. So likely a different test script anyway? > Also, I suspect that there are bits of GIST/GIN/SPGIST that are not > well exercised if you don't run the contrib modules that add opclasses > for those. Possible - still think it'd be best to get the minimal thing in asap, and then try to extend further afterwards... Perfect being the enemy of good and all that. Greetings, Andres Freund
