Referring to tuplesort.c and tuplestore.c
BACKGROUND: Starting from dumptuples() [ tuplesort.c ] write functions move
the tuple from a buffer to another in order to finally write it in a logical
tape. Is there a way (even the most inefficient way) to use current
read/write functions provided by PostgreSQL in order to retrieve the first
tuple of a certain run while performing External Sorting?
NOTE: I need the first tuple in order to manipulate the whole corresponding
run, tuple by tuple since they are written sequentially in a run.
Thanks for your attention.
Regards, Manolo.

For the joy of all of you: that's the correct WIP patch.
At the moment it only tries to create runs uding two heaps. Hope you can
help me with writing those runs on tapes.
I'd be very pleased to give you more details.
Thenks for your time.

Hi.
That's the last release and refers to 8.3.0 and not to 8.2.5 as before.
Hope
you can tell me if I created it correctly please.
no, it doesn't...
! /* GUC variables */
#ifdef TRACE_SORT
bool trace_sort = false;
#endif
- #ifdef DEBUG_BOUNDED_SORT
- bool optimize_bounded_sort = true;
- #endif
it's seems you're removing something added in 8.3
