outer join clauses. Given, say, ... from a left join b on a.a1 = b.b1 where a.a1 = 42; we'll deduce a clause b.b1 = 42 and then mark the original join clause redundant (we can't remove it completely for reasons I don't feel like squeezing into this log entry). However the original implementation of that wasn't bulletproof, because clause_selectivity() wouldn't honor this_selec if given nonzero varRelid --- which in practice meant that it worked as desired *except* when considering index scan quals. Which resulted in bogus underestimation of the size of the indexscan result for an inner indexscan in an outer join, and consequently a possibly bad choice of indexscan vs. bitmap scan. Fix by introducing an explicit test into clause_selectivity(). Also, to make sure we don't trigger that test in corner cases, change the convention to be that this_selec > 1, not this_selec = 1, means it's been marked redundant. Per trouble report from Scara Maccai. Back-patch to 8.2, where the problem was introduced. |

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/.
