variable not found in subplan target list

Hello,

I stripped down the original query to what is below. I am not saying
that the query below
is useful except to show an error I am getting in Postgresql 9.1.1 on
both SL6.1 (64 bit) and
Windows 2008 server 9.1.1 (32-bit and 64-bit). The error I am
getting is:

ERROR: variable not found in subplan target list
SQL state: XX000

If I remove the inner join to person (at the end) to works on 9.1.1

I tried this query on Postgresql 9.1.0 on Windows Vista (32-bit) and
it works.
Also on the postgres 8.4 it works on both OS's.

Thanks,
Roger

SELECT

SELECT
COALESCE(Ups.employeeId, -1) AS employeeId

SELECT Lead.salesmanId AS employeeId
FROM Lead

SELECT
COALESCE(Ups.employeeId, -1) AS employeeId

SELECT SalesAppointment.SalesmanID AS employeeID
FROM SalesAppointment
GROUP BY SalesAppointment.SalesmanID) AS Ups
) AS Appts USING (employeeId)

INNER JOIN Employee USING (employeeid)
INNER JOIN Person ON Employee.employeeId = Person.personId

-----------------------------------------
I extracted the tables from the database which generates the error above

I eliminated most of the columns such that this query still exhibits
this behavior to reduce
the file size. I have a zipped file from windows postgresql 9.1.1
(32-bit) which is about 1.5MBytes.
I verified that the database generated from this file will produce the
error.

Thanks,
Roger

This is a pretty typical symptom of a certain class of planner bugs,
but I couldn't reproduce any such failure on the basis of what you
showed here. Please provide a *self-contained* test case.

If you'd send that to me off-list, I'd be happy to take a look.

I stripped enough out of the database that it is only good for a test
case. Here is a public
url for getting at the database backup:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13814973/test2.zip

The sql I posted earlier can be used on this to generate the error.

Thanks for taking a look at this!

I've committed a fix for this:

Thanks for the test case!
