If we merge the transition calculations for two different aggregates, it's reasonable to assume that the transition function should not care which of those Aggref structs it gets from AggGetAggref(). It is not reasonable to make the same assumption about an aggregate final function, however. Commit 804163bc2 broke this, as it will pass whichever Aggref was first associated with the transition state in both cases. This doesn't create an observable bug so far as the core system is concerned, because the only existing uses of AggGetAggref() are in ordered-set aggregates that happen to not pay attention to anything but the input properties of the Aggref; and besides that, we disabled sharing of transition calculations for OSAs yesterday. Nonetheless, if some third-party code were using AggGetAggref() in a normal aggregate, they would be entitled to call this a bug. Hence, back-patch the fix to 9.6 where the problem was introduced. In passing, improve some of the comments about transition state sharing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAB4ELO5RZhOamuT9Xsf72ozbenDLLXZKSk07FiSVsuJNZB861A@mail.gmail.com
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.
