Etsuro Fujita 13838740f6 Fix some issues with step generation in partition pruning.
In the case of range partitioning, get_steps_using_prefix() assumes that
the passed-in prefix list contains at least one clause for each of the
partition keys earlier than one specified in the passed-in
step_lastkeyno, but the caller (ie, gen_prune_steps_from_opexps())
didn't take it into account, which led to a server crash or incorrect
results when the list contained no clauses for such partition keys, as
reported in bug #16500 and #16501 from Kobayashi Hisanori.  Update the
caller to call that function only when the list created there contains
at least one clause for each of the earlier partition keys in the case
of range partitioning.

While at it, fix some other issues:

* The list to pass to get_steps_using_prefix() is allowed to contain
  multiple clauses for the same partition key, as described in the
  comment for that function, but that function actually assumed that the
  list contained just a single clause for each of middle partition keys,
  which led to an assertion failure when the list contained multiple
  clauses for such partition keys.  Update that function to match the
  comment.
* In the case of hash partitioning, partition keys are allowed to be
  NULL, in which case the list to pass to get_steps_using_prefix()
  contains no clauses for NULL partition keys, but that function treats
  that case as like the case of range partitioning, which led to the
  assertion failure.  Update the assertion test to take into account
  NULL partition keys in the case of hash partitioning.
* Fix a typo in a comment in get_steps_using_prefix_recurse().
* gen_partprune_steps() failed to detect self-contradiction from
  strict-qual clauses and an IS NULL clause for the same partition key
  in some cases, producing incorrect partition-pruning steps, which led
  to incorrect results of partition pruning, but didn't cause any
  user-visible problems fortunately, as the self-contradiction is
  detected later in the query planning.  Update that function to detect
  the self-contradiction.

Per bug #16500 and #16501 from Kobayashi Hisanori.  Patch by me, initial
diagnosis for the reported issue and review by Dmitry Dolgov.
Back-patch to v11, where partition pruning was introduced.

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
