Re: Add SPLIT PARTITION/MERGE PARTITIONS commands

Hi, Alexander!

Thank you very much for your work on refactoring the commits!
Yesterday I received an email from adjkldd(at)126(dot)com <winterloo(at)126(dot)com>
with a proposal for optimization (MERGE PARTITION command) for cases
where the target partition has a name identical to one of the merging
partition names.
I think this optimization is worth considering.
A simplified version of the optimization is attached to this letter
(difference is 10-15 lines).
All changes made in one commit
(v28-0001-ALTER-TABLE-MERGE-PARTITIONS-command.patch) and in one
function (ATExecMergePartitions).

In your opinion, should we added this optimization now or should it be
left for later?
