sql>create table foo (id int);
operation successful (10.821ms)
sql>insert into foo values (42);
1 affected row (2.482ms)
sql>select id-row_number() over (order by id) from (select id from foo union all select id from foo) as z;

Expected result:
41
40

Actual result:
<nothing, not even column headers>

Even more interestingly, EXPLAINing that last query gives no result too.

As far as I can determine, this is a minimal repro, i.e. removing any element from the SELECT will make it work.

FYI, the original query from which this repro was reduced was:
select min(id),max(id) from (select id,id-row_number() over (order by id) from [...view which is a union all of many monthly partition tables...] where id>=?) a(id,rn) group by rn;

The intent of this query is to find all the ID ranges which exist in the database, and is part of a replication system which needs to determine whether to INSERT or UPDATE an existing row.

the relational optimizer incorrectly pushed down the unsafe (window function) into the union.
