Beta feature

Hackorum builds and tests every patch posted to the lists, not only commitfest submissions. This is Hackorum's own CI rather than the PostgreSQL project's, and it is still under testing - please report anything that looks wrong.

won't retrysuccessCI history

You can run a PostgreSQL built from this patch straight from Docker, with no checkout and no build:

docker run --rm -p 5432:5432 ghcr.io/hackorum-dev/postgres-patch:t44912
psql -h localhost -U postgres

Built from patchset v1 (message #1), July 27, 2026 at 04:09 PM.

Every patchset is also pushed to a branch of our PostgreSQL fork, so you can check out the same tree CI built. Without a PostgreSQL checkout:

git clone --branch t44912_1 https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.git

In a checkout you already have, add the fork once:

git remote add hackorum https://github.com/hackorum-dev/postgres.git

then, for this patchset and every later one:

git fetch hackorum t44912_1 && git checkout t44912_1

Patchset v1 (message #1) is on t44912_1

Hi

If you do tab completion in a situation like A, you will see ["on"]
instead of [on].

A : "ALTER SYSTEM SET wal_compression TO "

I made a patch for this problem.

This would break the completion of enum entries that require quotes to
work properly for some of their values, like
default_transaction_isolation.

I do not think this is an improvement. It will result in omitting
quotes in some cases where they're not optional. Try it with a
value such as "all", for example.

Thank you for comments.

I understand these comments, and the proposal was withdrawn.
