Simplify information schema check constraint deparsing

petere · pull[bot] · commit a08a2ae08671 · 2024-04-09T05:02:06.000Z
The computation of the column information_schema.check_constraints.check_clause used pg_get_constraintdef() plus some string manipulation to get the check clause back out. This ended up with an extra pair of parentheses, which is only an aesthetic problem, but also with suffixes like "NOT VALID", which don't belong into that column. We can fix both of these problems and simplify the code by just using pg_get_expr() instead. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/799b59ef-3330-f0d2-ee23-8cdfa1740987@eisentraut.org
