Tom Lane 1d5e7a6f46 Repair logic flaw in cost estimator: cost_nestloop() was estimating CPU
costs using the inner path's parent->rows count as the number of tuples
processed per inner scan iteration.  This is wrong when we are using an
inner indexscan with indexquals based on join clauses, because the rows
count in a Relation node reflects the selectivity of the restriction
clauses for that rel only.  Upshot was that if join clause was very
selective, we'd drastically overestimate the true cost of the join.
Fix is to calculate correct output-rows estimate for an inner indexscan
when the IndexPath node is created and save it in the path node.
Change of path node doesn't require initdb, since path nodes don't
appear in saved rules.

PostgreSQL Data Base Management System (formerly known as Postgres, then
as Postgres95).
  
This directory contains the development version of 6.6 of the PostgreSQL
database server.  The server is not ANSI SQL compliant, but it gets
closer with every release.  After you unzip and untar the distribution
file, look at file INSTALL for the installation notes and file HISTORY
for the changes.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our WWW
home page located at http://www.postgreSQL.org/.
