Tom Lane e540b97248 Fix an oversight in the 8.2 patch that improved mergejoin performance by
inserting a materialize node above an inner-side sort node, when the sort is
expected to spill to disk.  (The materialize protects the sort from having
to support mark/restore, allowing it to do its final merge pass on-the-fly.)
We neglected to teach cost_mergejoin about that hack, so it was failing to
include the materialize's costs in the estimated cost of the mergejoin.
The materialize's costs are generally going to be pretty negligible in
comparison to the sort's, so this is only a small error and probably not
worth back-patching; but it's still wrong.

In the similar case where a materialize is inserted to protect an inner-side
node that can't do mark/restore at all, it's still true that the materialize
should not spill to disk, and so we should cost it cheaply rather than
expensively.

Noted while thinking about a question from Tom Raney.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
