I have a query that works in 7.3.6 but not in 7.4.2 unless I turn off enable_hashjoin. I'm joining a table of network interfaces and a table of networks so I can find additional info about a particular interface's network. To speed up the join, I'm indexing the interface IP addresses using a function that converts the IP address to its network address; this way the join doesn't have to scan using the << or >> operator. Here's a reduced example of what I'm doing: CREATE FUNCTION inet2net (INET) RETURNS INET AS ' SELECT NETWORK(SET_MASKLEN($1, 24)); ' LANGUAGE SQL IMMUTABLE; CREATE TABLE ipinterface ( ifid INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, ifaddr INET NOT NULL ); CREATE INDEX ipinterface_ifaddr_idx ON ipinterface (ifaddr); CREATE INDEX ipinterface_ifaddrnet_idx ON ipinterface (inet2net(ifaddr)); CREATE TABLE ipnet ( netid INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, netaddr INET NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT uniq_netaddr UNIQUE (netaddr) ); CREATE INDEX ipnet_netaddr_idx ON ipnet (netaddr); After populating the tables, I ran VACUUM ANALYZE on both of them, so the planner's statistics should be current. Here's a query that illustrates the problem: SELECT ifid, ifaddr, netid, netaddr FROM ipinterface AS i JOIN ipnet AS n ON (inet2net(i.ifaddr) = n.netaddr) WHERE netid IN (10, 20); >From my sample data set (available upon request), this query returns 24 rows in 7.3.6, which is correct. Here's the 7.3.6 EXPLAIN ANALZYE: Nested Loop (cost=0.00..533.78 rows=24 width=32) (actual time=0.20..0.37 rows=24 loops=1) -> Index Scan using ipnet_pkey, ipnet_pkey on ipnet n (cost=0.00..6.03 rows=2 width=16) (actual time=0.11..0.12 rows=2 loops=1) Index Cond: ((netid = 10) OR (netid = 20)) -> Index Scan using ipinterface_ifaddrnet_idx on ipinterface i (cost=0.00..262.58 rows=92 width=16) (actual time=0.06..0.10 rows=12 loops=2) Index Cond: (inet2net(i.ifaddr) = "outer".netaddr) Total runtime: 0.52 msec (6 rows) The same query in 7.4.2 returns no results.
