Propagate ALTER TABLE ... SET STORAGE to indexes

petere · petere · commit 501e41dd3cb9 · 2020-05-08T08:39:17.000+02:00
When creating a new index, the attstorage setting of the table column is copied to regular (non-expression) index columns. But a later ALTER TABLE ... SET STORAGE is not propagated to indexes, thus creating an inconsistent and undumpable state.
