Codecov complains about missing coverage. However, the test case seems to cover this part of the code and removing these lines triggers a test failure. So, it seems to be tested.

Codecov has been all over the place lately, not sure whats going on with it. Reporting random lines being untested which are in the same branch where all other lines have been tested.

Nit: Might be out of the scope of this PR. But I think we should also remove the following Assert in Line 1971/1982 (Assert(OidIsValid(opr));).

Again, we have an Assert followed by an if/else on the same condition. The assert prevents proper testing of this branch in a debug build.

Makes sense to me.

Fall back to btree operator input type when it is binary compatible with the column type and no operator for column type could be found. This should improve performance when using column types like char or varchar instead of text.

This release contains performance improvements for compressed hypertables and continuous aggregates and bug fixes since the 2.11.2 release. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available opportunity. This release moves all internal functions from the _timescaleb_internal schema into the _timescaledb_functions schema. This separates code from internal data objects and improves security by allowing more restrictive permissions for the code schema. If you are calling any of those internal functions you should adjust your code as soon as possible. This version also includes a compatibility layer that allows calling them in the old location but that layer will be removed in 2.14.0. **PostgreSQL 12 support removal announcement** Following the deprecation announcement for PostgreSQL 12 in TimescaleDB 2.10, PostgreSQL 12 is not supported starting with TimescaleDB 2.12. Currently supported PostgreSQL major versions are 13, 14 and 15.
