Yes, I pushed that earlier. > Likewise, it might be > better to fix DEFAULT_FDW_TUPLE_COST beforehand, to detangle what > the effects of that are. I chatted to Andres and Thomas about this last week and their view made me think it might not be quite as clear-cut as "just bump it up a bunch because it's ridiculously low" that I had in mind. They mentioned about file_fdw and another one that appears to work on mmapped segments, which I don't recall if any names were mentioned. Certainly that's not a reason not to change it, but it's not quite as clear-cut as I thought. I'll open a thread with some reasonable evidence to get a topic going and see where we end up. In the meantime I've just coded it to do a temporary adjustment to the fdw_tuple_cost foreign server setting just before the test in question. > Also, I think it's bad style to rely on aggpresorted defaulting to false. > You should explicitly initialize it anywhere that an Aggref node is > constructed.

Thanks for the quick scan. I did another few myself and adjusted a small number of things. Mostly comments and using things like lfirst_node and list_nth_node instead of lfirst and list_nth with a cast. I've now pushed the patch. Thank you to everyone who looked at this. David
