Hmm, I'm worried that may be an API contract violation. ISTM that we might initialize nodes that we never read from - they can show up in the EXPLAIN-plan as (never executed) - and things that aren't executed shouldn't do work, especially work that permanently modifies data. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
