David Rowley fb95cc72bf Fix incorrect pruning of NULL partition for boolean IS NOT clauses
Partition pruning wrongly assumed that, for a table partitioned on a
boolean column, a clause in the form "boolcol IS NOT false" and "boolcol
IS NOT true" could be inverted to correspondingly become "boolcol IS true"
and "boolcol IS false".  These are not equivalent as the NOT version
matches the opposite boolean value *and* NULLs.  This incorrect assumption
meant that partition pruning pruned away partitions that could contain
NULL values.

Here we fix this by correctly not pruning partitions which could store
NULLs.

To be affected by this, the table must be partitioned by a NULLable boolean
column and queries would have to contain "boolcol IS NOT false" or "boolcol
IS NOT true".  This could result in queries filtering out NULL values
with a LIST partitioned table and "ERROR:  invalid strategy number 0"
for RANGE and HASH partitioned tables.

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:

	https://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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
