Tom, I think I have a new instance of the "Variable not Found in Subplan Target List" bug, or at least one that was not patched in 7.4.1.
Version: 7.4.1 from source Platform: RH Linux 7.3 running on Dual Athalon Severity: Showstopper Symptoms: Converted 7.2 databse to 7.4.1 three weeks ago. This view worked normally for those 3 weeks; in fact, it worked normally until a couple of hours ago (and was in heavy use all that time, being queried about 1000 times per day) It is still in use on a mirror server, with identical schema but slightly different data, where the error does NOT occur. Starting about 2 hours ago, we began to get this: net_test=# select * from sv_cases; ERROR: variable not found in subplan target lists The database is huge, proprietary, and very complex. I can't provide you with full schema on this list, but could provide more information privately. Here is the view: CREATE VIEW "sv_cases" as SELECT cases.case_id, cases.case_name, cases.docket, status.status_label, cases.opp_counsel_name, trial_groups.tgroup_name, cases.tgroup_id, cases.status, cases.lead_case_docket, cases.lead_case_id, cases.priority, tpr.rollup1 as pr_element, tpr.rollup2 as pr_label FROM status, ( SELECT vchar_to_int2(list_value) as priority, rollup1, rollup2 from text_list_values WHERE list_name = 'Case Priority' ) tpr, cases LEFT JOIN trial_groups on cases.tgroup_id = trial_groups.tgroup_id WHERE (cases.status = status.status AND status.relation = 'cases'::"varchar") AND cases.priority = tpr.priority; I cannot run an EXPLAIN, it errors out as well. And, per one of your previous e-mails, I tried forcing a change in the plan, but to no benefit: jwnet_test=# set enable_hashjoin=false; SET jwnet_test=# select * from sv_cases; ERROR: variable not found in subplan target lists jwnet_test=# set enable_hashjoin=true; SET jwnet_test=# set enable_mergejoin=false; SET jwnet_test=# select * from sv_cases; ERROR: variable not found in subplan target lists jwnet_test=# set enable_mergejoin=true; SET jwnet_test=# set enable_nestloop=false; SET jwnet_test=# select * from sv_cases; ERROR: variable not found in subplan target lists If there is a patch for this that isn't in 7.4.1, please let me know where I can grab it other than the archives, as the HTML formatting is messing me up with the 11/2003 patch.
