Hi, Is there a particular reason why the "direct" arguments of ordered-set aggregates are not passed to the transition function too? It seems that evaluating of some ordered-set aggregates would be much cheaper if we did that.
For example, dense_rank() would then just need to count the number of rows smaller than the hypothetical row, AFAICS. Another example (that we don't currently provide, but still) would be a histogram aggregate which receives an array of buckets as direct args and returns a similarly shaped array of counters. best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
