The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 19619
Logged by: Michael Malis
Email address: malis(at)pgrust(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 18.6
Operating system: MacOS
Description:
The planner pushes WHERE scale(n) = 1 (and the equivalent HAVING) past
GROUP BY n and window PARTITION BY n. numeric values 1.0, 1.00 and
1.000 compare equal, so they form one group / one window partition, but
scale() distinguishes them. Pushing the filter into the scan drops two
of the three rows before the aggregate or window runs, so COUNT(*) is 1
instead of 3. Wrong answers, not a crash.
Version: PostgreSQL 18.6 on aarch64-apple-darwin24.5.0, compiled by
Apple clang version 17.0.0 (clang-1700.0.13.5), 64-bit
Configure: --enable-cassert --enable-debug
Reproducer
----------
CREATE TABLE nums (n numeric);
INSERT INTO nums VALUES (1.0), (1.00), (1.000);
ANALYZE nums;
-- Wrong: filter is pushed below the window
SELECT n, c FROM (
SELECT n, COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY n) AS c
FROM nums
) s
WHERE scale(n) = 1
ORDER BY 1;
-- Correct: OFFSET 0 blocks pushdown; filter stays above the window
SELECT n, c FROM (
SELECT n, COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY n) AS c
FROM nums
OFFSET 0
) s
WHERE scale(n) = 1
ORDER BY 1;
-- Same bug for GROUP BY
SELECT c FROM (
SELECT n, COUNT(*)::int AS c FROM nums GROUP BY n
) s
WHERE scale(n) = 1;
SELECT c FROM (
SELECT n, COUNT(*)::int AS c FROM nums GROUP BY n OFFSET 0
) s
WHERE scale(n) = 1;
-- Same bug for HAVING (moved to WHERE)
SELECT n, COUNT(*)::int AS c FROM nums GROUP BY n HAVING scale(n) = 1;
