Per recent work by Peter Geoghegan, it's significantly faster to tuplesort on a single sortkey if ApplySortComparator is inlined into quicksort rather reached via a function pointer. It's also faster in general to have a version of quicksort which is specialized for sorting SortTuple objects rather than objects of arbitrary size and type. This requires a couple of additional copies of the quicksort logic, which in this patch are generate using a Perl script. There might be some benefit in adding further specializations here too, but thus far it's not clear that those gains are worth their weight in code footprint. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
