I had some some research on this particular topic/feature recently. My notes currently say, it's better to not tackle this before the not-null cataloging patch (see entry in current commitfest) is finished. Because that patch would presumably already implement much of the logic necessary to determine whether a give expression implies nullability or not and catalog this in a simpler fashion. Based on that you will then have to drag this information around and put it on the wire so that the client APIs can process it. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
