Hi all,
I came across this comment in exec_append_initialize_next....
/* ----------------
* initialize the scan
* (and update the range table appropriately)
* (doesn't this leave the range table hosed for anybody upstream
* of the Append node??? - jolly )
* ----------------
*/
I took a stab at guessing what this might mean, and ran the following
test.
It looks like a bug. Can anybody shed any light on whether the above
comment is likely to relate to this bug, and is there anybody who is
so intimate with this code that they are willing to fix it?
