Attached is my first patch for PostgreSQL, which is a simple one-liner that I believe can improve the code.
In the "join_search_one_level" function, I noticed that the variable "other_rels_list" always refers to "joinrels[1]" even when the (level == 2) condition is met. I propose changing:
"other_rels_list = joinrels[level - 1]" to "other_rels_list = joinrels[1]"
This modification aims to enhance clarity and avoid unnecessary instructions.
I guess compiler can make that code more efficiency. But from the point of code readibilty, I agree with you.
As Julien Rouhaud said, it had better to to move the other_rels_list
initialization out of the if instruction and put it with the variable declaration.
I would greatly appreciate any review and feedback on this patch as I am a newcomer to PostgreSQL contributions. Your input will help me improve and contribute effectively to the project.
I have followed the excellent guide "How to submit a patch by email, 2023 edition" by Peter Eisentraut.
Additionally, if anyone has any tips on ensuring that Gmail recognizes my attached patches as the "text/x-patch" MIME type when sending them from the Chrome client, I would be grateful for the advice.
Or maybe the best practice is to use Git send-email ?
