A better workaround for the sentence would be something like:

        "and it also happens that the user always has permission"

Looks easier to read, I think.

391c3811a2 Rename SortMem and VacuumMem to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem.
Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints
use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit.
Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their
old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.

3969f2924b Revise GEQO planner to make use of some heuristic knowledge about SQL, namely
that it's good to join where there are join clauses rather than where there
are not.  Also enable it to generate bushy plans at need, so that it doesn't
fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins.  These
changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce
the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime,
and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4.  Consequently,
adjust the default GEQO parameters.  I also modified the way geqo_effort is
used so that it affects both population size and number of generations;
it's now useful as a single control to adjust the GEQO runtime-vs-plan-quality
tradeoff.  Bump geqo_threshold to 12, since even with these changes GEQO
seems to be slower than the regular planner at 11 relations.

58ae3cf12c Minor improvements to the trigger documentation, and a few SGML fixes. 2004-01-22 19:50:21 +00:00
672a807028 Repair error apparently introduced in the initial coding of GUC: the
default value for geqo_effort is supposed to be 40, not 1.  The actual
'genetic' component of the GEQO algorithm has been practically disabled
since 7.1 because of this mistake.  Improve documentation while at it.
