so that the latter estimates the number of groups that grouping will produce. This is needed because it is primarily query_planner that makes the decision between fast-start and fast-finish plans, and in the original coding it was unable to make more than a crude rule-of-thumb choice when the query involved grouping. This revision helps us make saner choices for queries like SELECT ... GROUP BY ... LIMIT, as in a recent example from Mark Kirkwood. Also move the responsibility for canonicalizing sort_pathkeys and group_pathkeys into query_planner; this information has to be available anyway to support the first change, and doing it this way lets us get rid of compare_noncanonical_pathkeys entirely. |

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. The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance. A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN. 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 ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
