Subject: UNION removes almost all rows (not duplicates) - in fresh build of pg17!
Date: Mon, 20 May 2024 17:59:59 +0200
Message-ID: <Zktzf926vslR35Fv@depesz.com> (raw)

So, test case is trivial:

#v+
$ select count(*) from pg_class where relkind = 'r';
 count
───────
    68
(1 row)

$ select count(*) from pg_class where relkind = 'i';
 count
───────
   164
(1 row)

$ select count(*) from ( select * from pg_class where relkind = 'r' union select * from pg_class where relkind = 'i' );
 count
───────
     1
(1 row)
#v-

explain shows unexpected:

#v+
$ explain (analyze) select count(*) from ( select * from pg_class where relkind = 'r' union select * from pg_class where relkind = 'i' );

It seems that I get 232 correct rows from Append, but then Unique
removes all of them, except for one?

For whatever it's worth returned row is:

#v+
$ select * from pg_class where relkind = 'r' union select * from pg_class where relkind = 'i' \gx

As for test environment:

Debian testing on amd64, self-compiled from git HEAD at d2a04470aa6401c1938cc107e0b2c56c22a2321f

Did I do something wrong?

Best regards,
