Previously, we skipped using search_indexed_tlist_for_sortgroupref() if the tlist expression being sought in the child plan node was merely a Var. This is purely an optimization, based on the theory that search_indexed_tlist_for_var() is faster, and one copy of a Var should be as good as another. However, the GROUPING SETS patch broke the latter assumption: grouping columns containing the "same" Var can sometimes have different outputs, as shown in the test case added here. So do it the hard way whenever a ressortgroupref marking exists. (If this seems like a bottleneck, we could imagine building a tlist index data structure for ressortgroupref values, as we do for Vars. But I'll let that idea go until there's some evidence it's worthwhile.) Back-patch to 9.6. The problem also exists in 9.5 where GROUPING SETS came in, but this patch is insufficient to resolve the problem in 9.5: there is some obscure dependency on the upper-planner-pathification work that happened in 9.6. Given that this is such a weird corner case, and no end users have complained about it, it doesn't seem worth the work to develop a fix for 9.5. Patch by me, per a report from Heikki Linnakangas. (This does not fix Heikki's original complaint, just the follow-on one.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/aefc657e-edb2-64d5-6df1-a0828f6e9104@iki.fi |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
