I am not able to see how is the following hunk related to $subject
*************** create_result_path(PlannerInfo *root, Re
*** 1374,1379 ****
--- 1374,1380 ---- pathnode->path.startup_cost = target->cost.startup; pathnode->path.total_cost =
target->cost.startup+ cpu_tuple_cost + target->cost.per_tuple;
+ /* Add cost of qual, if any --- but we ignore its selectivity */ if (resconstantqual) { QualCost
qual_cost;
And may be we should try to explain why can we ignore selectivity.
Similarly for the changes in create_minmaxagg_path().
