I had a go at making it a bit smaller without going dangerously close
to where the plan might change. The following seems to work.
create table ma0(a int primary key);
create table ma1() inherits (ma0);
insert into ma0 select generate_series(1, 400);
insert into ma1 select generate_series(1, 200);
analyze ma0;
analyze ma1;
explain (costs off) select * from ma0 where a < 100 order by a;
drop table ma0 cascade;
As for backpatching this. It does risk plans changing in stable
versions of PostgreSQL, which we normally try to avoid. However, it
seems quite similar to 1e731ed12a, albeit, far more long-standing.
I'm currently thinking we should backpatch this back to 12.
Does anyone disagree?
