[HACKERS] trying to study how sorting works

2015-03-26 Thread hitesh ramani
Hello devs, I'm trying to understand how sorting exactly works in Postgres, I've understood that there are two sorting mechanisms depending on the size of the data, one being qsort which is initiated if workmem is < 1024 kb and the other being external sort which is initiated in the other case.
