Dear Gurus,
Sorry for upping a 13-month-old thread; please tell if I should've opened
another one.
Here I come again, with another silly join. Please forgive me, but our
queries are built from blocks :)
VERSION: 7.4.6, 7.4.8, 8.0.0rc4 (sorry, no newer installed right now)
ABSTRACT: The following query fails.
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT a,b FROM cdqp WHERE a=1 AND b=2) AS aa
NATURAL FULL JOIN
(SELECT a,b FROM cdqp WHERE a=1 and b=2) AS bb
WHERE a+b = 3;
DETAILS: It seems it's something about the redundant WHERE clauses. If I
comment (replace with "WHERE true") any of the three WHERE clauses, it works.
Session log: See below.
TIA,

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
