Message-ID: <E1urqY9-002Alu-1B@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Fix semijoin unique-ification for child relations
For a child relation, we should not assume that its parent's
unique-ified relation (or unique-ified path in v18) always exists. In
cases where all RHS columns that need to be unique-ified are equated
to constants, the unique-ified relation/path for the parent table is
not built, as there are no columns left to unique-ify. Failing to
account for this can result in a SIGSEGV crash during planning.
This patch checks whether the parent's unique-ified relation or path
exists and skips unique-ification of the child relation if it does
not.
