Tom Lane 7af96a66f4 Apply band-aid fix for an oversight in reparameterize_path_by_child.
The path we wish to reparameterize is not a standalone object:
in particular, it implicitly references baserestrictinfo clauses
in the associated RelOptInfo, and if it's a SampleScan path then
there is also the TableSampleClause in the RTE to worry about.
Both of those could contain lateral references to the join partner
relation, which would need to be modified to refer to its child.
Since we aren't doing that, affected queries can give wrong answers,
or odd failures such as "variable not found in subplan target list",
or executor crashes.  But we can't just summarily modify those
expressions, because they are shared with other paths for the rel.
We'd break things if we modify them and then end up using some
non-partitioned-join path.

In HEAD, we plan to fix this by postponing reparameterization
until create_plan(), when we know that those other paths are
no longer of interest, and then adjusting those expressions along
with the ones in the path itself.  That seems like too big a change
for stable branches however.  In the back branches, let's just detect
whether any troublesome lateral references actually exist in those
expressions, and fail reparameterization if so.  This will result in
not performing a partitioned join in such cases.  Given the lack of
field complaints, nobody's likely to miss the optimization.

Report and patch by Richard Guo.  Apply to 12-16 only, since
the intended fix for HEAD looks quite different.  We're not quite
ready to push the HEAD fix, but with back-branch releases coming
up soon, it seems wise to get this stopgap fix in place there.

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/.
