Tom Lane 76281aa964 Avoid a couple of zero-divide scenarios in the planner.
cost_subplan() supposed that the given subplan must have plan_rows > 0,
which as far as I can tell was true until recent refactoring of the
code in createplan.c; but now that code allows the Result for a provably
empty subquery to have plan_rows = 0.  Rather than undo that change,
put in a clamp to prevent zero divide.

get_cheapest_fractional_path() likewise supposed that best_path->rows > 0.
This assumption has been wrong for longer.  It's actually harmless given
IEEE float math, because a positive value divided by zero gives +Infinity
and compare_fractional_path_costs() will do the right thing with that.
Still, best not to assume that.

final_cost_nestloop() also seems to have some risks in this area, so
borrow the clamping logic already present in the mergejoin cost functions.

Lastly, remove unnecessary clamp_row_est() in planner.c's calls to
get_number_of_groups().  The only thing that function does with path_rows
is pass it to estimate_num_groups() which already has an internal clamp,
so we don't need the extra call; and if we did, the callers are arguably
the wrong place for it anyway.

First two items reported by Piotr Stefaniak, the others are products
of my nosing around for similar problems.  No back-patch since there's
no evidence that problems arise in the back branches.

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.  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/.
