Because it will be done when the subquery is planned (via recursion to subquery_planner), if the subquery is left as a separate subquery. The only reason pull_up_subqueries has to do this at all is that it has already been done to the rest of the upper query, and so we would miss doing it to the pulled-up part of the tree if we didn't do it here. Compare the order of operations in subquery_planner. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
