From 3f56ca1d4985bd61af329474a3c654a1eb360c47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:49:10 +0000 Subject: Reduce the rescan cost estimate for Materialize nodes to cpu_operator_cost per tuple, instead of the former cpu_tuple_cost. It is sane to charge less than cpu_tuple_cost because Materialize never does any qual-checking or projection, so it's got less overhead than most plan node types. In particular, we want to have the same charge here as is charged for readout in cost_sort. That avoids the problem recently exhibited by Teodor wherein the planner prefers a useless sort over a materialize step in a context where a lot of rescanning will happen. The rescan costs should be just about the same for both node types, so make their estimates the same. Not back-patching because all of the current logic for rescan cost estimates is new in 9.0. The old handling of rescans is sufficiently not-sane that changing this in that structure is a bit pointless, and might indeed cause regressions. --- src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c') diff --git a/src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c b/src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c index 112c2389d11..5c35f77ec2d 100644 --- a/src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c +++ b/src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ * * * IDENTIFICATION - * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c,v 1.271 2010/02/12 17:33:20 tgl Exp $ + * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/optimizer/plan/createplan.c,v 1.272 2010/02/19 21:49:10 tgl Exp $ * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ @@ -1703,11 +1703,11 @@ create_mergejoin_plan(PlannerInfo *root, /* * We assume the materialize will not spill to disk, and therefore - * charge just cpu_tuple_cost per tuple.
