We currently have a manual interface for summarize new values, so it makes sense to include a manual interface for desummarize also. Since this adds desummarize_range it would make sense to expose summarize_range also. I'd prefer if we had a way to know when the summary is no longer useful and to do this automatically, but we'd need more info and research to work out how to do that, so we can only do it this way at present. Other than that the patch looks fairly straightforward, so adding a few tests will be all we need here. Plus function docs. I'm on the hook to write brin docs anyway, so no more needed here. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
