The point of a PlaceHolderVar is to allow a non-strict expression to be evaluated below an outer join, after which its value bubbles up like a Var and can be forced to NULL when the outer join's semantics require that. However, there was a serious design oversight in that, namely that we didn't ensure that there was actually a correct place in the plan tree to evaluate the placeholder :-(. It may be necessary to delay evaluation of an outer join to ensure that a placeholder that should be evaluated below the join can be evaluated there. Per recent bug report from Kirill Simonov. Back-patch to 8.4 where the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was introduced. |
