If there's only one child relation, the Append or MergeAppend isn't doing anything useful, and can be elided. It does have a purpose during planning though, which is to serve as a buffer between parent and child Var numbering. Therefore we keep it all the way through to setrefs.c, and get rid of it only after fixing references in the plan level(s) above it. This works largely the same as setrefs.c's ancient hack to get rid of no-op SubqueryScan nodes, and can even share some code with that. Note the change to make setrefs.c use apply_tlist_labeling rather than ad-hoc code. This has the effect of propagating the child's resjunk and ressortgroupref labels, which formerly weren't propagated when removing a SubqueryScan. Doing that is demonstrably necessary for the [Merge]Append cases, and seems harmless for SubqueryScan, if only because trivial_subqueryscan is afraid to collapse cases where the resjunk marking differs. (I suspect that restriction could now be removed, though it's unclear that it'd make any new matches possible, since the outer query can't have references to a child resjunk column.)

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/.
