The thing to do about that would be to come up with some cases where someone might plausibly think it would win and benchmark them to find out what happens. I find it really hard to believe that sorting a long presorted stream of tuples (or, say, 2-1-4-3-6-5-8-7-10-9 etc.) is ever going to be as fast with any other algorithm as it is with replacement selection. -- 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
