report of poor planning in 8.3: it's unsafe to push a constant across an outer join when the outer-join condition is delayed by lower outer joins, unless we recheck the outer-join condition at the upper outer join. 8.2.x doesn't really have the ability to tell whether this is the case or not, but fortunately it doesn't matter --- it seems most desirable to keep the join condition whether it's entirely redundant or not. However, it's usually mostly redundant, so force its selectivity to 1.0. It might be a good idea to back-patch this into 8.1 as well, but I'll refrain until/unless there's evidence that 8.1 actually fails on any cases that this would fix.
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/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Java - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution 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.
