Hmm, so it seems my initial guess that we didn't need to bother generating such paths was wrong. Oops. This patch is hard to read because it is reorganizing a bunch of code as well as adding new functionality. Perhaps you could separate it into two patches, one with the refactoring and then the other with the new functionality. Actually, though, I don't understand why you need so much rearrangement.... -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
