You are right.
The result of your query is:
explain select * from
przystanki p1 join miasta m1 using (id_miasta)
join (przystanki p2 join miasta m2 using (id_miasta))using (id_przystanku)
where id_przystanku=1230
Hash Join (cost=13.00..30.10 rows=1 width=128) -> Hash Join (cost=6.74..21.02 rows=374 width=64) -> Seq Scan
onprzystanki p2 (cost=0.00..7.74 rows=374 width=41) -> Hash (cost=5.99..5.99 rows=299 width=23) ->
Seq Scan on miasta m2 (cost=0.00..5.99 rows=299 width=23) -> Hash (cost=6.26..6.26 rows=1 width=64) -> Nested
Loop (cost=0.00..6.26 rows=1 width=64) -> Index Scan using przystanki_pkey on przystanki p1
(cost=0.00..3.14rows=1 width=41) -> Index Scan using miasta_pkey on miasta m1 (cost=0.00..3.10 rows=1
width=23)
Anyway - is it possible to expose table "przystanki alias p2" to get valid result?
The problem is similiar to my problem "sub-select with aggregate" dated on 2002-10-23
and the answer (which doesn't satisfy me) is the same:
if we pass static values to "przystanki p2 join miasta m2", the query will work ok:
explain select * from
przystanki p1 join miasta m1 using (id_miasta)
cross join (przystanki p2 join miasta m2 using (id_miasta)) X
where p1.id_przystanku=1230 and X.id_przystanku=1230
Nested Loop (cost=0.00..12.52 rows=1 width=128) -> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..6.26 rows=1 width=64) -> Index
Scanusing przystanki_pkey on przystanki p1 (cost=0.00..3.14 rows=1 width=41) -> Index Scan using miasta_pkey on
miastam1 (cost=0.00..3.10 rows=1 width=23) -> Materialize (cost=6.26..6.26 rows=1 width=64) -> Nested Loop
(cost=0.00..6.26rows=1 width=64) -> Index Scan using przystanki_pkey on przystanki p2 (cost=0.00..3.14

Stephan - I have some problems with mail relay to you.
Does my mail server have any open-relay problem, or something like this (213.25.37.66) ?
