enable_default_index_deduplication

Parameter description: Specifies whether to deduplicate and compress tuples with duplicate key values for a B-tree index by default. The deduplication and compression functions do not take effect for primary key indexes and unique indexes. When there are a large number of indexes with duplicate key values, the deduplication and compression function can effectively reduce the space occupied by indexes. In scenarios where non-unique indexes are used and index key values are seldom repeated or unique, the deduplication and compression function slightly deteriorates the index insertion performance. If the WITH (deduplication set to on/off) syntax is used during index creation, the deduplication parameter is preferentially used to determine whether to use deduplication and compression for the index.

This parameter is a POSTMASTER parameter. Set it based on instructions provided in Table 1.

Value range: Boolean

• off: indicates that the deduplication and compression function is disabled for B-tree indexes. This is the default value.
• on: indicates that the deduplication and compression function is enabled for B-tree indexes.

Default value: off

This parameter is a USERSET parameter. Set it based on instructions provided in Table 1.

Value range: Boolean

• off: indicates that this function is disabled. This is the default value.
• on: indicates that the SRF, expression flattening, centralized Seq Scan projection cancellation, transition status of shared aggregate functions, and step number optimization features are enabled.

Default value: off

It is supported only in the scenario where query_dop is set to 1.
