Well, you could in any case force the same decision to be made in every invocation, for example by driving it off a GUC variable. The idea you have here seems to be "it'll be the same choice in every sub-problem, only we won't know which one afterwards", which doesn't seem at all helpful for planner testing purposes. > Yes, the example in dummy.c is really stupider, but it could be done > in more clever way. I think dummy.c kinda proves my point: more than half the code is accomplishing nothing except to duplicate the behavior of make_rel_from_joinlist. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
