abou the cost estimation
Hello, All
I have read the source code /cvsroot/pgsql/src/backend/optimizer/path/costsize.c and there is a function cost_sort(...). I think the code in 464 to 465 lines must be changed to:
startup_cost += npageaccesses *
(1.0 + cost_nonsequential_access(1)) * 0.5;
The original code is:
startup_cost += npageaccesses *
(1.0 + cost_nonsequential_access(npages)) * 0.5;
Can any one discuss about this issue with me ? Thanks for your response very much!

That would be wrong. Note the definition of cost_nonsequential_access:
* Estimate the cost of accessing one page at random from a relation
* (or sort temp file) of the given size in pages.
