David Rowley found that the "use the smallest per-column selectivity" heuristic applied in some cases by get_foreign_key_join_selectivity() was badly off if the FK columns are independent, producing estimates much worse than we got before that code was added in 9.6. One case where that heuristic was used was for LEFT and FULL outer joins with the referenced rel on the outside of the join. But we should not really need to special-case those here. eqjoinsel() never has had such a special case; the correction is applied by calc_joinrel_size_estimate() instead. Let's just estimate such cases like inner joins and rely on that later adjustment. (I think there was something of a thinko here, in that the comments seem to be thinking about the selectivity as defined for semi/anti joins; but that shouldn't apply to left/full joins.) Add a regression test exercising such a case to show that this is sane in at least some cases. The other case where we used that heuristic was for SEMI/ANTI outer joins, either if the referenced rel was on the outside, or if it was on the inside but was part of a join within the RHS. In either case, the FK doesn't give us a lot of traction towards estimating the selectivity. To ensure that we don't have regressions from what happened before 9.6, let's punt by ignoring the FK in such cases and applying the traditional selectivity calculation. (We might be able to improve on that later, but for now I just want to be sure it's not worse than 9.5.) Report and patch by David Rowley, simplified a bit by me. Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAKJS1f8NO8oCDcxrteohG6O72uU1saEVT9qX=R8pENr5QWerXw@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. 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/.
