Tom Lane b3358e2642 Fix bug introduced into mergejoin logic by performance improvement patch of
2005-05-13.  When we find that a new inner tuple can't possibly match any
outer tuple (because it contains a NULL), we can't immediately skip the
tuple when we are in NEXTINNER state.  Doing so can lead to emitting
multiple copies of the tuple in FillInner mode, because we may rescan the
tuple after returning to a previous marked tuple.  Instead, proceed to
NEXTOUTER state the same as we used to do.  After we've found that there's
no need to return to the marked position, we can go to SKIPINNER_ADVANCE
state instead of SKIP_TEST when the inner tuple is unmatchable; this
preserves the performance improvement.  Per bug report from Bruce.
I also made a couple of cosmetic code rearrangements and added a regression
test for the problem.

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 including some of the more
common listed below:

C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/
PHP - http://www.php.net
Python - http://www.initd.org/
Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/

Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing
parties.

PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available,
a short but not complete list is below:

pl/c - Included in PostgreSQL core 
plPgsql - Included in PostgreSQL core - Similar to Oracle PL/sql
plPerl - Included in PostgreSQL core
plPHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
plPython - Included in PostgreSQL core
plJava - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php
plTcl - Included in PostgreSQL core

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/.
