Maybe something like this? In the example below there are 2
partitions. the first one has 1998 rows and the second one has 2
rows. Assuming that work_mem is 64kB, the first one does not fit the
memory and spills to disk. The second partition fits memory. However as
state->usedDisk remains true, explain shows "Storage: Disk".
test=# explain (analyze,costs off) select sum(n) over(partition by m) from (SELECT n < 3 as m, n from
generate_series(1,2000)a(n));
n QUERY PLAN
