Subject: B-tree bug
Date: Tue, 2 Apr 1996 07:12:41 -0800
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

When a b-tree index's scan position is marked, only the
line pointer value is saved.  If the position is restored
after the index scan has read past that page, it doesn't
work.  I noticed this while doing a merge-join with index
scans beneath it (tpc-D query #8).  I have reproduced the
bug with much smaller datasets.  The code to be changed is
in backend/executor/nodeIndexScan.  The procedures are
ExecIndexMarkPos() and ExecIndexRestrPos().

Has anyone else found this bug and possibly fixed it?

Jeff
