Aww, and here I thought I had just been diligent :). In other news
its really no surprise that your test with 1600 columns had little
effect. As it loops over the the indexes, then the index keys and
then the group by items right? So I would expect the more indexes you
had or group by items to slow it down. Not so much the number of
columns. Right?
Anyhow it sounds like I should try it on top of the other patch and
see if it works. I assume it might still need some fixups to work
with that other patch? Or do you expect it to just work?
