Can you provide some more details about the objective of this patch? Or
a link to previous discussion?
Suppose, Greg's patch could be modified to support order OR index scans:
SELECT ... WHERE (c > 10 AND c < 20) OR (c > 100 AND C < 110) ORDER BY c DESC
with plan:
Result
-> Append
-> Backward index scan (c > 100 AND C < 110)
-> Backward index scan (c > 10 AND C < 20)
I suggested a similar patch two years ago:
