This change ensures that the planner will see implicit and explicit casts as equivalent for all purposes, except in the minority of cases where there's actually a semantic difference (as reflected by having a 3-argument cast function). In particular, this fixes cases where the EquivalenceClass machinery failed to consider two references to a varchar column as equivalent if one was implicitly cast to text but the other was explicitly cast to text, as seen in bug #7598 from Vaclav Juza. We have had similar bugs before in other parts of the planner, so I think it's time to fix this problem at the core instead of continuing to band-aid around it. Remove set_coercionform_dontcare(), which represents the band-aid previously in use for allowing matching of index and constraint expressions with inconsistent cast labeling. (We can probably get rid of COERCE_DONTCARE altogether, but I don't think removing that enum value in back branches would be wise; it's possible there's third party code referring to it.) Back-patch to 9.2. We could go back further, and might want to once this has been tested more; but for the moment I won't risk destabilizing plan choices in long-since-stable branches. |

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: http://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. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. 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 http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
