Instead of 'existing local tuple', will it be slightly better to have
'conflicting local tuple'?
Few trivial comments:
1)
errdetail_apply_conflict() header says:
* 2. Display of conflicting key, existing local tuple, remote new tuple, and
* replica identity columns, if any.
We may mention that existing *conflicting* local tuple.
Looking at build_tuple_value_details(), the cases where we display
'KEY 'and the ones where we display 'replica identity' are mutually
exclusives (we have ASSERTs like that). Shall we add this info in
header that either Key or 'replica identity' is displayed. Or if we
don't want to make it mutually exclusive then update_exists is one
such casw where we can have both Key and 'Replica Identity cols'.
2)
BuildIndexValueDescription() header comment says:
* This is currently used
* for building unique-constraint, exclusion-constraint and logical replication
* tuple missing conflict error messages
Is it being used only for 'tuple missing conflict' flow? I thought, it
will be hit for other flows as well.
thanks
