History

Tom Lane ed0097e4f9 Add SQL-accessible functions for inspecting index AM properties. Per discussion, we should provide such functions to replace the lost ability to discover AM properties by inspecting pg_am (cf commit `65c5fcd35`). The added functionality is also meant to displace any code that was looking directly at pg_index.indoption, since we'd rather not believe that the bit meanings in that field are part of any client API contract. As future-proofing, define the SQL API to not assume that properties that are currently AM-wide or index-wide will remain so unless they logically must be; instead, expose them only when inquiring about a specific index or even specific index column. Also provide the ability for an index AM to override the behavior. In passing, document pg_am.amtype, overlooked in commit `473b93287`.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
