Re: GROUP BY ROLLUP queries on views trigger full table scans (index usage not optimized)

Hello Richard,

Based on the "Minimal Reproducible Example" principle,
I previously created a simplified version of the example,
which you successfully fixed. However, during actual testing,
I found that the behavior does not meet expectations.
Specifically, I observed inconsistent index behavior when using a view compared to querying the underlying table directly.
To help illustrate this issue, I used DeepSeek to generate a test case that closely mirrors my real-world database scenario.
As you can see:

 * 
Approach 1 Does not use a view and uses GROUP BY ROLLUP. uses the date column as the indexed filtering field.
Recheck Cond: (((document_date >= '2024-06-01'::date) AND (document_date <= '2024-12-31'::date)) OR ((document_date >= '2025-01-01'::date) AND (document_date <= '2025-12-09'::date)))

 * 
Approach 2 Uses a view and uses GROUP BY ROLLUP. uses columns "approval_status" and "data_control_scope" as indexed filtering fields, which unfortunately causes the query to scan all partitions of my partitioned table.
Recheck Cond: (((approval_status)::text = 'y'::text) AND ((data_control_scope)::text = 'DD_OG'::text))
Please refer to the attached file for the detailed example.
Thanks & Best Regards

Hmm, I don't have much insight into the installation issue. I tested
the v2 patch on both v18 and master, and it fixes your query.
EXPLAIN (COSTS OFF)
SELECT material_id, AVG(unit_price) as avg_price
FROM materials_view
WHERE material_id = 'PI'
GROUP BY ROLLUP(material_id);
 QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------
 GroupAggregate
 Group Key: materials.material_id
 Group Key: ()
 -> Index Scan using materials_pkey on materials
 Index Cond: ((material_id)::text = 'PI'::text)
(5 rows)
Regarding back-patching, I believe this issue exists before v18, but
it seems that the change in v18 made it common enough to notice,
especially in queries with grouping sets. Given the lack of reports
for versions prior to v18, I'm inclined to back-patch this only to
v18.
Any thoughts?
