  1. Fix bugs with degenerate window ORDER BY clauses in GROUPS/RANGE mode.

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      15262
Logged by:          Lukas Eder
Email address:      lukas.eder@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 11beta2
Operating system:   Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1
Description:        

This error can be reproduced easily as follows

  postgres=# SELECT count(*) OVER (GROUPS 1 PRECEDING) FROM (VALUES (1),
(2), (2)) t(v);
  ERROR:  unexpected end of tuplestore

Notice the missing ORDER BY clause in the window specification. This works
as expected:

  postgres=# SELECT count(*) OVER (ORDER BY v GROUPS 1 PRECEDING) FROM
(VALUES (1), (2), (2)) t(v);
   count
  -------
       1
       3
       3
  (3 rows)

I used the latest 11 beta 2 version on Docker:

  postgres=# select version();
                                                                   version
