I'm very interested in any improvements we can make to planning large join nests. Unfortunately the paper seems to conclude that it's not really feasible to use heuristics, as had been my hope, but I'd be very interested in any other approaches we can come up with. I probably do not have time to implement anything myself, but I'm happy to help with ideas and code review. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
