Hi, Tom! I have a question about Sort path. AFAICS this question wasn't mentioned in the upthread discussion. We're producing Sort plans in two ways: from explicit Sort paths, and from other paths which implicitly assumes sorting (like MergeJoin path). Would it be better to produce Sort plan only from explicit Sort path? Thus, MergeJoin path would add explicit children Sort paths. That would be more unified way. I ask about this from point of view of my "Partial Sort" patch. The absence of implicit sorts would help to make this patch more simple and clean.
