Tom Lane 882368e854 Fix btree stop-at-nulls logic properly.
As pointed out by Naoya Anzai, my previous try at this was a few bricks
shy of a load, because I had forgotten that the initial-positioning logic
might not try to skip over nulls at the end of the index the scan will
start from.  We ought to fix that, because it represents an unnecessary
inefficiency, but first let's get the scan-stop logic back to a safe
state.  With this patch, we preserve the performance benefit requested
in bug #6278 for the case of scanning forward into NULLs (in a NULLS
LAST index), but the reverse case of scanning backward across NULLs
when there's no suitable initial-positioning qual is still inefficient.

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/.
