Re: BUG #17476: ERROR: "variable not found in subplan target list" when running SELECT COUNT(*)

I have 2 (ordinary) tables in 900+ table database restored from PG 9.6 (with
PostGIS geometries BTW) where this problem occurs.

The count() queries into the other tables are OK.

Also the problem happens only at the server but not at my Windows 10
workstation with the same PG 14.2.

No clue what could be wrong.

PGAdmin4 fails even when trying to list SQL creation statement.

Is that really just a table? I could believe a bug like this for
some types of views, but it's a bit hard to credit for a plain table.

In any case, we can't do much with this report unless you can provide
a reproducer case --- preferably a SQL script that creates an object
that triggers the problem.
