Hello everybody!
I'm trying to understand the the query planner's cost estimator.
I was not able to find anywhere the functions that estimate the cost
of each operation that the optimizer produces (via EXPLAIN ANALYZE).
I only found this from for the sequencial scan:
SEQ SCAN = ( cpu_tuple_cost * rows ) + ( number of pages * seq_page_cost )
and I am wondering where could I find the rest formulas for the rest operations
(e.g. HashAggregate, Nested Loop, Hash Join, Index Scan, Sort, etc)
I have spent more than three days looking for these but I couldn't find anything.
At least not from the official documentation or other relavant publications
Thank you in advance!
