Doc: clarify enable_indexscan=off also disabled Index Only Scans
Disabling enable_indexscan has always also disabled Index Only Scans. Here we make that more clear in the documentation in an attempt to prevent future complaints complaining about this expected behavior. Reported-by: Melanie Plageman Author: David G. Johnston, David Rowley Backpatch-through: 12, oldest supported version Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAAKRu_atV=kovgpaLREyG68PB5+ncKvJ2UNoeRetEgyC3Yb5Sw@mail.gmail.com
