Well, postgres estimates the query runtime in the form of an expected 'cost', where the cost is an arbitrary measure based on time complexity of query plan. It shouldn't be too difficult to correlate estimated cost to runtime cost. A statistical analysis of that correlation would be incredibly useful work although generating sample datasets would be a major challenge. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
