Tom Lane ca5f885020 Improve eqjoinsel_semi's behavior for small inner relations with no stats.
If we don't have any MCV statistics for the inner relation, and we don't
trust its numdistinct estimate either, eqjoinsel_semi falls back to a very
conservative estimate (that 50% of the outer rows have matches).  This is
particularly problematic if the inner relation is completely empty, since
then even an explicit ANALYZE won't produce any pg_statistic entries,
so there's no way to budge the planner off the bad estimate.

We'd produce a better estimate in such cases if we used the nd2/nd1
selectivity heuristic, so an easy fix is to treat the nd2 estimate as
non-default if we derive it from clamping to the inner rel's rowcount
estimate.  This won't fix every related case (mainly because the rowcount
estimate might be larger than DEFAULT_NUM_DISTINCT), but it seems like a
sane extension of the existing logic, so let's apply the change in HEAD
and see if anyone complains.  Per bug #14438 from Nikolay Nikitin.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
