This discussion has gone on for two years now and meandered into different directions. There have been a number of interesting proposals and patches in that time but it's not clear now what patch is even under consideration and what questions remain for it. And I think this message from last November is the last comment on it so I wonder if it's reached a bit of an impasse. I think I would suggest starting a fresh thread with a patch distilled from the previous discussions. Then once that's settled repeat with additional patches, keeping the discussion focused just on the current change. Personally I think these kinds of optimizations are important because they're what allow people to use SQL without micro-optimizing each query. -- greg
