While the standard order of operations is to evaluate the WHERE before the SELECT list, it's not guaranteed to result
inshort-cut execution. In particular, constant folding happens very early in the processing of a query, well before
theWHERE clause is evaluated:
xof=# SELECT 1/0 WHERE FALSE;
ERROR: division by zero
