-- postal_code: a 64-bit type for any country's postal code, additive

-- postal_code.h/postal_code_fmt.h for the bit layout and dispatch
-- design; postal_code_us.c/ca/fr/br/cz/lu/gb/ie.c are the

-- THE SAFETY NET. Folding postal_prefix() into a plan would let a cached
-- plan keep a range computed under a country assignment that has since
-- changed, so the folded plan depends on postal_code_country_formats and a
-- trigger invalidates it whenever that table changes. Austria is assigned the
-- plain-5-digit format, a row is stored, a statement is prepared (its plan is
-- cached); then Country XW is reassigned to the Czech format, which renders with
-- a space. The same prepared statement must now mean the CZ range -- and so
-- return the CZ-format row, not the old FR-format one.

-- Binary send/recv (postal_code_recv/postal_code_send, the
-- COPY ... WITH (FORMAT binary) path) is deliberately not covered
-- here: doing that portably needs a checked-in binary fixture file
-- and the same @abs_srcdir@ substitution machinery the "binary"
-- regression test above already has to work around (see this
-- Makefile's own comment on sql/binary.sql) -- not worth duplicating
-- for a second type in this pass. Verified manually instead: a full
-- COPY ... WITH (FORMAT binary) round trip of all 43,147 real
-- US+CA GEONAMES rows (out to a file and back in) matched the
-- original data exactly.
