What my little patch was trying to proof, is whether, that part of planner could construct the plan better, if it had a notion of base type in domains. Which I still believe it should do, based on my simple test. Again, I am not saying, that postgresql should treat domains just as an alias to base type, but I do believe that it should at least construct plan better - based on the base type, not the domain's oid. If you know what it might possibly break, can you give some examples please ? -- GJ -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
