Tom Lane d543170f2f Don't split up SRFs when choosing to postpone SELECT output expressions.
In commit 9118d03a8c we taught the planner to postpone evaluation of
set-returning functions in a SELECT's targetlist until after any sort done
to satisfy ORDER BY.  However, if we postpone some SRFs this way while
others do not get postponed (because they're sort or group key columns)
we will break the traditional behavior by which all SRFs in the tlist run
in-step during ExecTargetList(), so that you get the least common multiple
of their periods not the product.  Fix make_sort_input_target() so it will
not split up SRF evaluation in such cases.

There is still a hazard of similar odd behavior if there's a SRF in a
grouping column and another one that isn't, but that was true before
and we're just trying to preserve bug-compatibility with the traditional
behavior.  This whole area is overdue to be rethought and reimplemented,
but we'll try to avoid changing behavior until then.

Per report from Regina Obe.

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
