Richard Guo fbc0fe9a2e Adjust tuples estimate for appendrels
In set_append_rel_size(), we currently set rel->tuples to rel->rows
for an appendrel.  Generally, rel->tuples is the raw number of tuples
in the relation and rel->rows is the estimated number of tuples after
the relation's restriction clauses have been applied.  Although an
appendrel itself doesn't directly enforce any quals today, its child
relations may.  Therefore, setting rel->tuples equal to rel->rows for
an appendrel isn't always appropriate.

Doing so can lead to issues in cost estimates in some cases.  For
instance, when estimating the number of distinct values from an
appendrel, we would not be able to adjust the estimate based on the
restriction selectivity.

This patch addresses this by setting an appendrel's tuples to the
total number of tuples accumulated from each live child, which better
aligns with reality.

This is arguably a bug, but nobody has complained about that until
now, so no back-patch.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
