When the planner considered using a Result Cache node to cache results from the inner side of a Nested Loop Join, it failed to consider that the inner path's parameterization may not be the entire join condition. If the join was marked as inner_unique then we may accidentally put the cache in singlerow mode. This meant that entries would be marked as complete after caching the first row. That was wrong as if only part of the join condition was parameterized then the uniqueness of the unique join was not guaranteed at the Result Cache's level. The uniqueness is only guaranteed after Nested Loop applies the join filter. If subsequent rows were found, this would lead to: ERROR: cache entry already complete This could have been fixed by only putting the cache in singlerow mode if the entire join condition was parameterized. However, Nested Loop will only read its inner side so far as the first matching row when the join is unique, so that might mean we never get an opportunity to mark cache entries as complete. Since non-complete cache entries are useless for subsequent lookups, we just don't bother considering a Result Cache path in this case. In passing, remove the XXX comment that claimed the above ERROR might be better suited to be an Assert. After there being an actual case which triggered it, it seems better to keep it an ERROR.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
