    Fix old oversight in const-simplification of COALESCE() expressions. · d7304244
    Tom Lane authored
    Once we have found a non-null constant argument, there is no need to
    examine additional arguments of the COALESCE.  The previous coding got it
    right only if the constant was in the first argument position; otherwise
    it tried to simplify following arguments too, leading to unexpected
    behavior like this:
    
    regression=# select coalesce(f1, 42, 1/0) from int4_tbl;
    ERROR:  division by zero
    
    It's a minor corner case, but a bug is a bug, so back-patch all the way.
