I really do mean combine when I say combine. I'm pretty sure that I've coded everything properly to work even if there was 10 stages of aggregation, in this case 9 of those would be combine nodes, and only 1 of them a finalize node. I can see why you'd say that at a glace of explain.c, but it's more relevant that agg->finalizeAggs is true, giving the combine test is in the else if condition. The test for combineStates is only there so we don't output Finalize Aggregate for normal 1 stage aggregates. I simply don't think FILTER should be shown if combineStates is true. This means that it will only be shown at the first aggregate node, the one with combineStates == false. I think this is a good idea due to the fact that this is the only place where FILTERing is done. -- David Rowley 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
