Subject: Fix incorrect tlist generation in create_gather_plan().
X-Git-Tag: REL9_6_BETA1~549
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8776c15c85322612b9bf79daf50f74be71c12e05;p=postgresql

Fix incorrect tlist generation in create_gather_plan().

This function is written as though Gather doesn't project; but it does.
Even if it did not project, though, we must use build_path_tlist to ensure
that the output columns receive correct sortgroupref labeling.

Per report from Amit Kapila.
