I don't really see the difference WRT that in this case? installcheck still has regress.so available, no? > it seems to me that a solution already exists in the shape of C function > called through the main regression test suite. I guess that'd work. I don't really see the point in calling these via SQL, tbh, but if that's easier for you, using a regress.c helper woul do the trick. > Would this idea work for you when it comes to this proposal? Yes. I think we need to combine about half the modules in src/test/modules, the current course is absurd: 16: 37 17: 46 18: 49 dev: 62 [Almost] All of them create a new initdb'd cluster. ~50MB of writes for a short test is insane. Doing low-level unittests by doing inter-process communication from psql to the server, marshalling everything through text, is insane. Greetings, Andres Freund
