The planner will merge sub-queries into upper queries if the
resulting <literal>FROM</literal> list would have no more than
this many items. Smaller values reduce planning time but might
! yield inferior query plans. The default is eight. It is usually
! wise to keep this less than <xref linkend="guc-geqo-threshold">.
For more information see <xref linkend="explicit-joins">.
