Yeah, that wasn't right. It boiled down to how some code in the range
partition pruning function considered a tuple containing a = 2 to fall in
this partition, which is wrong because the minvalue in its upper bound
makes the partition exclusive of any tuples with a = 2. Fixed that.
Beside fixing that, I have decided to get rid of the
PartititionPruneStepOpNe (a special kind of base pruning step that was
being used to prune list partitions using a set of <> operator clauses)
and related functions. Instead pruning for <> operator clauses is now
implemented by using a combination of PartitionPruneStepOp and
PartitionPruneStepCombine after adding a new combine op COMBINE_INVERT (I
also renamed COMBINE_OR and COMBINE_AND to COMBINE_UNION and
COMBINE_INTERSECT, respectively). I decided to do so because the previous
arrangement looked like a "hack" to support a special case that touched no
less than quite a few places.
Attached find the updated version of patches.
Thanks,
