I think I see the problem: pgpa_process_unrolled_join() returns a set
called "all_relids" but it only returns the union of the inner relid
sets, not including the outer relid set. In your example, we want to
get:
NESTED_LOOP_PLAIN((part partsupp) (supplier part partsupp))
But the join order is:
JOIN_ORDER(nation (supplier (part partsupp)))
So every table is the outer table of some unrolled join, except for
the innermost table, which is partsupp. So all the others get omitted
from the output, and we get the output you saw:
NESTED_LOOP_PLAIN(partsupp partsupp)
Proposed fix attached.
