Seems reasonable to me. It's always a bit difficult, I feel, to know what test cases to use - almost any idea is going to have some case where it's worse than what we do today, and there can always be some user who does that exact thing 100% of the time. Moreover, it's hard to be certain that test cases we construct - say, ordered data, reverse ordered data, randomly ordered data, almost ordered data with a single element out of place, etc. - are actually covering all of the interesting cases. At the same time, I don't think anyone would seriously disagree with what you say in the subject line, and we won't make any progress by NOT trying things that are recommended in the academic literature. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
