When calculating the distance between date values, make sure to subtract them in the right order, i.e. (larger - smaller). The distance is used to determine which values to merge, and is expected to be a positive value. The code unfortunately did the subtraction in the opposite order, i.e. (smaller - larger), thus producing negative values and merging values the most distant values first. The resulting index is correct (i.e. produces correct results), but may be significantly less efficient. This affects all minmax-multi indexes on date columns. Backpatch to 14, where minmax-multi indexes were introduced.

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/.
