What about user-defined operators? I created my own <= operator for int8
which returns true on null input, and put it in a btree operator class.
With my operator I get:
depname | empno | salary | enroll_date | c1 | rn | c2 | c3
-----------+-------+--------+-------------+----+----+----+----
personnel | 5 | 3500 | 2007-12-10 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2
sales | 3 | 4800 | 2007-08-01 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 3
sales | 4 | 4800 | 2007-08-08 | 3 | | | 3
(3 rows)
Admittedly, it's weird that (null <= 1) evaluates to true. But does it
violate the contract of the btree operator class or something? Didn't
find a clear answer in the docs.
