Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
This problem is new to version 7. In PostgreSQL 6.x this problem not
present.
There is a bug where backend dumps core while executing such a request:
SELECT sum(a), b
FROM t
GROUP BY b
UNION SELECT sum(a), 1 as b
FROM t
GROUP BY b
I know, that last 'GROUP BY' clause is not necessary to use, but it's not
necessary for backend to dump core in such a harmless situation ;-) This
query works pretty well without last 'GROUP BY' clause.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First create the table:
CREATE TABLE t (a int, b int)
Next insert some data into the table. It's necessary part - without data
you cannot catch the bug.
INSERT INTO t VALUES (0, 0)
And finally:
SELECT sum(a), b
FROM t
GROUP BY b
UNION SELECT sum(a), 1 as b
FROM t
GROUP BY b
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:

Sorry, I don't :-(
