From fb9e56eea11a970e574260b82d6b05b4fe5a4308 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 02:48:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Suppress subquery pullup/pushdown when a subquery contains volatile functions in its targetlist, to avoid introducing multiple evaluations of volatile functions that textually appear only once. This is a slightly tighter version of Jaime Casanova's recent patch. --- src/backend/optimizer/path/allpaths.c | 13 ++++++++++++- src/backend/optimizer/prep/prepjointree.c | 11 ++++++++++- 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/optimizer/path/allpaths.c b/src/backend/optimizer/path/allpaths.c index fc618f72d1c..794c14fbbab 100644 --- a/src/backend/optimizer/path/allpaths.c +++ b/src/backend/optimizer/path/allpaths.c @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ * * * IDENTIFICATION - * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/optimizer/path/allpaths.c,v 1.151 2006/08/10 02:36:28 tgl Exp $ + * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/optimizer/path/allpaths.c,v 1.152 2006/08/19 02:48:53 tgl Exp $ * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ @@ -871,6 +871,10 @@ compare_tlist_datatypes(List *tlist, List *colTypes, * 5.
