That is NOT a good example. That patch is a first-cut of a non-trivial optimizer feature that was submitted just before beta1 shipped, by someone who hasn't modified the optimizer before. Jan's patch was a contrib module that has been already developed by the Skype folks, and it goes without saying that Jan has contributed to Postgres extensively. > It makes the whole process seem tilted and subjective. There are some fairly obvious, objective reasons why txid differs from the inline-SQL-SRF patch. That said, I agree that the process should have been followed in this case. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
