* 'indexinfo' is a list of IndexOptInfo nodes, one per scan to be performed.
*
- * 'indexqual' is a list of index qualifications, also one per scan.
- * Each entry in 'indexqual' is a sublist of qualification expressions with
- * implicit AND semantics across the sublist items. Only expressions that
- * are usable as indexquals (as determined by indxpath.c) may appear here.
- * NOTE that the semantics of the top-level list in 'indexqual' is OR
+ * 'indexclauses' is a list of index qualifications, also one per scan.
+ * Each entry in 'indexclauses' is a sublist of qualification clauses to be
+ * used for that scan, with implicit AND semantics across the sublist items.
+ * NOTE that the semantics of the top-level list in 'indexclauses' is OR
* combination, while the sublists are implicitly AND combinations!
- * Also note that indexquals lists do not contain RestrictInfo nodes,
- * just bare clause expressions.
- *
- * 'indexjoinclauses' is NIL for an ordinary indexpath (one that does not
- * use any join clauses in the index conditions). For an innerjoin indexpath,
- * it has the same structure as 'indexqual', but references the RestrictInfo
- * nodes from which the indexqual was built, rather than the bare clause
- * expressions. (Note: there isn't necessarily a one-to-one correspondence
- * between RestrictInfos and expressions, because of expansion of special
- * indexable operators.) We need this so that we can eliminate redundant
- * join clauses when plans are built.
+ *
+ * 'indexquals' has the same structure as 'indexclauses', but it contains
+ * the actual indexqual conditions that can be used with the index(es).
+ * In simple cases this is identical to 'indexclauses', but when special
+ * indexable operators appear in 'indexclauses', they are replaced by the
+ * derived indexscannable conditions in 'indexquals'.
+ *
+ * Both 'indexclauses' and 'indexquals' are lists of sublists of RestrictInfo
+ * nodes. (Before 7.5, we kept bare operator expressions in these lists, but
+ * storing RestrictInfos is more efficient since selectivities can be cached.)
+ *
+ * 'isjoininner' is TRUE if the path is a nestloop inner scan (that is,
+ * some of the index conditions are join rather than restriction clauses).
*

- * uses). A clause that originally came from WHERE will *always* have its

* qual-expression-evaluation code. (But we are still entitled to count
* their selectivity when estimating the result tuple count, if we
* can guess what it is...)
+ *
+ * When the referenced clause is an OR clause, we generate a modified copy
+ * in which additional RestrictInfo nodes are inserted below the top-level
+ * OR/AND structure. This is a convenience for OR indexscan processing:
+ * indexquals taken from either the top level or an OR subclause will have
+ * associated RestrictInfo nodes.
