Tom Lane 50c137487c Fix permission tests for views/tables proven empty by constraint exclusion.
A view defined as "select <something> where false" had the curious property
that the system wouldn't check whether users had the privileges necessary
to select from it.  More generally, permissions checks could be skipped
for tables referenced in sub-selects or views that were proven empty by
constraint exclusion (although some quick testing suggests this seldom
happens in cases of practical interest).  This happened because the planner
failed to include rangetable entries for such tables in the finished plan.

This was noticed in connection with erroneous handling of materialized
views, but actually the issue is quite unrelated to matviews.  Therefore,
revert commit 200ba1667b in favor of a more
direct test for the real problem.

Back-patch to 9.2 where the bug was introduced (by commit
7741dd6590).

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
