During an update of a PK row, we can skip firing the RI trigger if any old key value is NULL, because then the row could not have had any matching rows in the FK table. Conversely, during an update of an FK row, the outcome is determined if any new key value is NULL. In either case it becomes unnecessary to compare individual key values. This patch was inspired by discussion of Vik Reykja's patch to use IS NOT DISTINCT semantics for the key comparisons. In the event there is no need for that and so this patch looks nothing like his, but he should still get credit for having re-opened consideration of the trigger skip logic. |
