From eea6ada926c356087f3d3093dc39a71408ce26ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:57:24 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Fix SELECT DISTINCT with index-optimized MIN/MAX on inheritance trees. In a query such as "SELECT DISTINCT min(x) FROM tab", the DISTINCT is pretty useless (there being only one output row), but nonetheless it shouldn't fail. But it could fail if "tab" is an inheritance parent, because planagg.c's code for fixing up equivalence classes after making the index-optimized MIN/MAX transformation wasn't prepared to find child-table versions of the aggregate expression. The least ugly fix seems to be to add an option to mutate_eclass_expressions() to skip child-table equivalence class members, which aren't used anymore at this stage of planning so it's not really necessary to fix them. Since child members are ignored in many cases already, it seems plausible for mutate_eclass_expressions() to have an option to ignore them too. Per bug #7703 from Maxim Boguk. Back-patch to 9.1. Although the same code exists before that, it cannot encounter child-table aggregates AFAICS, because the index optimization transformation cannot succeed on inheritance trees before 9.1 (for lack of MergeAppend). --- src/backend/optimizer/path/equivclass.c | 10 ++++-- src/backend/optimizer/plan/planagg.c | 8 +++-- src/include/optimizer/paths.h | 3 +- src/test/regress/expected/aggregates.out | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/test/regress/sql/aggregates.sql | 5 +++ 5 files changed, 59 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/optimizer/path/equivclass.c b/src/backend/optimizer/path/equivclass.c index 349bd537e5e..70e048c6e9c 100644 --- a/src/backend/optimizer/path/equivclass.c +++ b/src/backend/optimizer/path/equivclass.c @@ -1973,12 +1973,12 @@ add_child_rel_equivalences(PlannerInfo *root, /* * mutate_eclass_expressions * Apply an expression tree mutator to all expressions stored in - * equivalence classes. + * equivalence classes (but ignore child exprs unless include_child_exprs). * * This is a bit of a hack ... it's currently needed only by planagg.c, * which needs to do a global search-and-replace of MIN/MAX Aggrefs * after eclasses are already set up.
