While working on the invalid parameterized join path issue [1], I
noticed that we can simplify the codes for checking parameterized
partial paths in try_partial_hashjoin/mergejoin_path, with the help of
macro PATH_REQ_OUTER.
- if (inner_path->param_info != NULL)
- {
- Relids inner_paramrels = inner_path->param_info->ppi_req_outer;
-
- if (!bms_is_empty(inner_paramrels))
- return;
- }
+ if (!bms_is_empty(PATH_REQ_OUTER(inner_path)))
+ return;
Also there is a comment there that is not correct.
* If the inner path is parameterized, the parameterization must be fully
* satisfied by the proposed outer path.
This is true for nestloop but not for hashjoin/mergejoin.
Besides, I wonder if it'd be better that we verify that the outer input
path for a partial join path should not have any parameterization
dependency.
Attached is a patch for all these changes.
