Yeah, we don't try to simplify that due to lack of infrastructure, maybe.
If said infrastructure was present, maybe CHECK constraints would already
be using that, which doesn't seem to be the case.
create table foo (a int check ((a IS NOT NULL) AND (a >= 0) AND (a < 10)
AND (a IS NOT NULL) AND (a >= 2) AND (a < 4)));
\d foo
Table "public.foo"
Column │ Type │ Collation │ Nullable │ Default
────────┼─────────┼───────────┼──────────┼─────────
a │ integer │ │ │
Check constraints:
"foo_a_check" CHECK (a IS NOT NULL AND a >= 0 AND a < 10 AND a IS NOT
NULL AND a >= 2 AND a < 4)
Now it's true that users wouldn't manually write expressions like that,
but the expressions might be an automatically generated, which is also the
case with partition constraint of a deeply nested partition.
Thanks,
