Just an observation, but when we cluster (or any other time we rebuild a heap)
we are creating a useless record type and array type for the temporary heap we
use which is subsequently dropped.
postgres=# cluster;
DEBUG: drop auto-cascades to type pg_temp_16474
DEBUG: drop auto-cascades to type pg_temp_16474[]
DEBUG: drop auto-cascades to type pg_temp_16471
DEBUG: drop auto-cascades to type pg_temp_16471[]
I can't think of any serious negative effects this could have so perhaps it's
not worth worrying about. The worst I can think of is the catalog bloat but
we're already bloating pg_class and pg_attribute anyways so this doesn't seem
like a big deal.
But I thought I would mention it in case anyone else is offended or knows of a
more serious problem it could cause.
