Hi all, Since commit 4e5fe9ad (committer Robert Haas and author Amit Langote), coverity has been complaining that the new code of ExecFindPartition() may use a set of values and isnull values which never get initialized. This is a state which can be easily reached with the following SQLs of a parent partition with no children: create table parent_tab (a int) partition by list ((a+0)); insert into parent_tab values (1);
The mistake is visibly that FormPartitionKeyDatum() should be called even for a root partition, initializing the fields of isnull and values on the way. That's actually what happens in execMain.c's ExecFindPartition() if you look at REL_10_STABLE. So the answer would be to move a bit down the quick exit code. Attached is a patch. Amit, that's your code. What do you think? Thanks, -- Michael
