Re: Does PostgreSQL have complete functional test cases?

Ok, I agree that "2147483647" is not a reasonable setting. But what's the definition of "reasonable"? I just want to study the impact of the setting so I test the big number first.

Having the setting:

cpu_index_tuple_cost = 10

I still get failures of "create_index", "inherit", "join", "stats". 

When you give users the flexibility of configurations, you cannot say all the values mismatching with your expectations are not allowed. In fact the system allowed such settings.

We can't test the optimizer is reasonable if you change settings in this
way, so no, I am not surprised it failed.
