If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one of the non-returnable columns is an expression using a Var that is in a returnable column, then a query returning that expression could result in an index-only scan plan that attempts to read the non-returnable column, instead of recomputing the expression from the returnable column as intended. To fix, redefine the "indextlist" list of an IndexOnlyScan plan node as containing null Consts in place of any non-returnable columns. This solves the problem by preventing setrefs.c from falsely matching to such entries. The executor is happy since it only cares about the exposed types of the entries, and ruleutils.c doesn't care because a correct plan won't reference those entries. I considered some other ways to prevent setrefs.c from doing the wrong thing, but this way seems good since (a) it allows a very localized fix, (b) it makes the indextlist structure more compact in many cases, and (c) the indextlist is now a more faithful representation of what the index AM will actually produce, viz. nulls for any non-returnable columns. This is easier to hit since we introduced included columns, but it's possible to construct failing examples without that, as per the added regression test. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches. Per bug #17350 from Louis Jachiet. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17350-b5bdcf476e5badbb@postgresql.org
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/.
