Maybe it would help for Jeff to use elog_node_display() to the nodes that are causing the problem - e.g. outerpathkeys and innerpathkeys and best_path->path_mergeclauses, or just best_path - at the point where the error is thrown. That might give us enough information to see what's broken. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
