Tom Lane d3237e04ca Fix SELECT DISTINCT with index-optimized MIN/MAX on inheritance trees.
In a query such as "SELECT DISTINCT min(x) FROM tab", the DISTINCT is
pretty useless (there being only one output row), but nonetheless it
shouldn't fail.  But it could fail if "tab" is an inheritance parent,
because planagg.c's code for fixing up equivalence classes after making the
index-optimized MIN/MAX transformation wasn't prepared to find child-table
versions of the aggregate expression.  The least ugly fix seems to be
to add an option to mutate_eclass_expressions() to skip child-table
equivalence class members, which aren't used anymore at this stage of
planning so it's not really necessary to fix them.  Since child members
are ignored in many cases already, it seems plausible for
mutate_eclass_expressions() to have an option to ignore them too.

Per bug #7703 from Maxim Boguk.

Back-patch to 9.1.  Although the same code exists before that, it cannot
encounter child-table aggregates AFAICS, because the index optimization
transformation cannot succeed on inheritance trees before 9.1 (for lack
of MergeAppend).

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/.
