Given that most joins patterns are repeated consistently across multiple SQL statements, is it possible to pre-calculate paths at ANALYZE time, or perhaps cache them (persistently?) when first generated? That way we just look up best paths, which would make join planning much faster. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
