[BUGS] BUG #6079: Wrong select result

[Renat]

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      6079
Logged by:          Renat
Email address:      renat.nasy...@itv.ru
PostgreSQL version: 9.0.4
Operating system:   Windows
Description:        Wrong select result
Details: 

INPUT:

create table foo (
id bigint not null,
date_to timestamp without time zone,
CONSTRAINT foo_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE INDEX foo_date_to_index
  ON foo
  USING btree
  (date_to)

insert into foo (id, date_to) values (1, now());
insert into foo (id, date_to) values (2, NULL);

select * from foo where date_to is null and date_to > '2011-01-01'

Expected: 0 rows

But: it return 1 row with id=2

If we will replace foo_date_to_index to:

CREATE INDEX foo_date_to_index
  ON foo
  USING btree
  (date_to)
  WHERE date_to is NOT NULL

Then:

SELECT * FROM foo where date_to is null and date_to > '2011-01-01'

Return: 0 rows

Please explain for me what happens?
