If the subquery contains EXCEPT or EXCEPT ALL set ops we cannot push * quals into it, because that could change the results. I remember coming to the conclusion that this is safe for UNION/INTERSECT but not EXCEPT, but right at the moment I'm not sure why I thought that --- it seems like a qual that suppresses specific rows should suppress all matching copies. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
