Zoltan Boszormenyi exhibited a test case in which planning time was dominated by construction of EquivalenceClasses and PathKeys that had no actual relevance to the query (and in fact got discarded immediately). This happened because we generated PathKeys describing the sort ordering of every index on every table in the query, and only after that checked to see if the sort ordering was relevant. The EC/PK construction code is O(N^2) in the number of ECs, which is all right for the intended number of such objects, but it gets out of hand if there are ECs for lots of irrelevant indexes. To fix, twiddle the handling of mergeclauses a little bit to ensure that every interesting EC is created before we begin path generation. (This doesn't cost anything --- in fact I think it's a bit cheaper than before --- since we always eventually created those ECs anyway.) Then, if an index column can't be found in any pre-existing EC, we know that that sort ordering is irrelevant for the query. Instead of creating a useless EC, we can just not build a pathkey for the index column in the first place. The index will still be considered if it's useful for non-order-related reasons, but we will think of its output as unsorted.
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/.
