if other_clauses is not NIL, then "try to match all containing clauses
'one-by-one"
the foreach loop "foreach(lc, args)" will apply other_clauses in
build_paths_for_OR every time.
then splitcost will obviously be higher than jointcost.
if other_clauses is NIL.
"foreach(lc, args)" will have list_length(args) startup cost.
So overall, it looks like jointcost will alway less than splitcost,
the only corner case would be both are zero.
anyway, in make_bitmap_paths_for_or_group,
above line "Pick the best option." I added:
if (splitcost <= jointcost && splitcost != 0 && jointcost != 0)
elog(INFO, "%s:%d splitcost <= jointcost and both is not
zero", __FILE_NAME__, __LINE__);
and the regress tests passed.
That means we don't need to iterate "((BoolExpr *)
ri->orclause)->args" in make_bitmap_paths_for_or_group
?
