An index search using a row comparison such as ROW(a, b) > ROW('x', 'y') would stop upon reaching a NULL entry in the "b" column, ignoring the fact that there might be non-NULL "b" values associated with later values of "a". This happens because _bt_mark_scankey_required() marks the subsidiary scankey for "b" as required, which is just wrong: it's for a column after the one with the first inequality key (namely "a"), and thus can't be considered a required match. This bit of brain fade dates back to the very beginnings of our support for indexed ROW() comparisons, in 2006. Kind of astonishing that no one came across it before Glen Takahashi, in bug #14010. Back-patch to all supported versions. Note: the given test case doesn't actually fail in unpatched 9.1, evidently because the fix for bug #6278 (i.e., stopping at nulls in either scan direction) is required to make it fail. I'm sure I could devise a case that fails in 9.1 as well, perhaps with something involving making a cursor back up; but it doesn't seem worth the trouble. |

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/.
