Hi, hackers (I'm doing another project related to Postgres besides the gSOC, so this one is not for TABLESAMPLE) I have a query as follows :select *from affiliation a, author_aff_history his, author auwhere a.aff_name = his.aff_nameand his.person_id = au.person_id;
I trace the RelOptInfo *rel in make_one_rel. In the pathlist, however, I find there are two duplicate paths(the latter two, both start with NESTPATH, and NEST on (b 2) and (b1) first, then with (b 3)). And there is another path that I think should be the optimal join tree(left-deep and no cartesian product), but I can't find it in the pathlist. The rel structure is attached in this email, the duplicate are in line 644 and 1321 respectively. I'm not sure whether I should ask this in the hacker list or other list, but just try here first.Why is that so? Any suggestion?
