nodeWindowAgg.c failed to cope with the possibility that no ordering columns are defined in the window frame for GROUPS mode or RANGE OFFSET mode, leading to assertion failures or odd errors, as reported by Masahiko Sawada and Lukas Eder. In RANGE OFFSET mode, an ordering column is really required, so add an Assert about that. In GROUPS mode, the code would work, except that the node initialization code wasn't in sync with the execution code about when to set up tuplestore read pointers and spare slots. Fix the latter for consistency's sake (even though I think the changes described below make the out-of-sync cases unreachable for now). Per SQL spec, a single ordering column is required for RANGE OFFSET mode, and at least one ordering column is required for GROUPS mode. The parser enforced the former but not the latter; add a check for that. We were able to reach the no-ordering-column cases even with fully spec compliant queries, though, because the planner would drop partitioning and ordering columns from the generated plan if they were redundant with earlier columns according to the redundant-pathkey logic, for instance "PARTITION BY x ORDER BY y" in the presence of a "WHERE x=y" qual. While in principle that's an optimization that could save some pointless comparisons at runtime, it seems unlikely to be meaningful in the real world. I think this behavior was not so much an intentional optimization as a side-effect of an ancient decision to construct the plan node's ordering-column info by reverse-engineering the PathKeys of the input path. If we give up redundant-column removal then it takes very little code to generate the plan node info directly from the WindowClause, ensuring that we have the expected number of ordering columns in all cases. (If anyone does complain about this, the planner could perhaps be taught to remove redundant columns only when it's safe to do so, ie *not* in RANGE OFFSET mode. But I doubt anyone ever will.) With these changes, the WindowAggPath.winpathkeys field is not used for anything anymore, so remove it. The test cases added here are not actually very interesting given the removal of the redundant-column-removal logic, but they would represent important corner cases if anyone ever tries to put that back. Tom Lane and Masahiko Sawada. Back-patch to v11 where RANGE OFFSET and GROUPS modes were added.

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check".
