Formerly we looked up the operators associated with each index (caching them in relcache) and then the planner looked up the btree opfamily containing such operators in order to build the btree-centric pathkey representation that describes the index's sort order. This is quite pointless for btree indexes: we might as well just use the index's opfamily information directly. That saves syscache lookup cycles during planning, and furthermore allows us to eliminate the relcache's caching of operators altogether, which may help in reducing backend startup time. I added code to plancat.c to perform the same type of double lookup on-the-fly if it's ever faced with a non-btree amcanorder index AM. If such a thing actually becomes interesting for production, we should replace that logic with some more-direct method for identifying the corresponding btree opfamily; but it's not worth spending effort on now. There is considerably more to do pursuant to my recent proposal to get rid of sort-operator-based representations of sort orderings, but this patch grabs some of the low-hanging fruit. I'll look at the remainder of that work after the current commitfest. |

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/.
