hi.
for unique index, primary key:
ii_ExclusionOps, ii_UniqueOps is enough to distinguish this index
support without overlaps,
we don't need another ii_HasWithoutOverlaps?
(i didn't test it though)
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
ON CONFLICT (id, valid_at) DO NOTHING
ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT temporal_rng_pk DO NOTHING
I am confused by the test.
here temporal_rng only has one primary key, ON CONFLICT only deals with it.
I thought these three are the same thing?
DROP TABLE temporal_rng;
CREATE TABLE temporal_rng (id int4range,valid_at daterange);
ALTER TABLE temporal_rng ADD CONSTRAINT temporal_rng_pk PRIMARY KEY
(id, valid_at WITHOUT OVERLAPS);
+-- ON CONFLICT
