The stats collector is on by default (of course, that doesn't apply to "make installcheck"...) But this reminds me: I think it would be cool to extend the language we use for writing regression tests to be more than mere SQL. We could do with boolean expressions ("IF stats_collector_is_on THEN run_test ELSE skip_test"), better control over parallel regression tests ("Run all possible interleavings of tests X, Y, and Z"; "Run X and Y simultaneously"; etc.), and more. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
