Thread: [HACKERS] execGrouping.c limit on work_mem
In BuildTupleHashTable
/* Limit initial table size request to not more than work_mem */
nbuckets = Min(nbuckets, (long) ((work_mem * 1024L) / entrysize));
Is this a good idea? If the caller of this code has no respect for work_mem, they are still going to blow it out of the water. Now we will just do a bunch of hash-table splitting in the process. That is only going to add to the pain.
Also:
* false if it existed already. ->additional_data in the new entry has
The field is just ->additional, not ->additional_data
Cheers,
Jeff

The point I think is that the caller doesn't have to be very careful about calculating its initial request size. regards, tom lane
