Cool, thanks! BTW there is a somewhat parallel discussion on this gist patch in pgsql-bugs which you may miss https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/3dda6945-c147-5afc-7720-38ec6848dafa%40gmail.com#9be5b8a75c4921498748514cb77c6e68 The main point is that buffering build is better to be enforced with buffering=on as otherwise buffering build becomes hard to test in the presence of sort support. -- Best regards, Pavel Borisov Postgres Professional: http://postgrespro.com <http://www.postgrespro.com>
