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: https://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. 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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.

Commit ab727167 introduced code that attempts to order the child scans of a Parallel Append node in a way that will minimize execution time, based on total cost and startup cost. However, it failed to think hard about what to do when estimated costs are exactly equal; a case that's particularly likely to occur when comparing on startup cost. In such a case the ordering of the child paths would be left to the whims of qsort, an algorithm that isn't even stable. We can improve matters by applying the rule used elsewhere in the planner: if total costs are equal, sort on startup cost, and vice versa. When both cost estimates are exactly equal, rather than letting qsort do something unpredictable, sort based on the child paths' relids, which should typically result in sorting in inheritance order. (The latter provision requires inventing a qsort-style comparator for bitmapsets, but maybe we'll have use for that for other reasons in future.) This results in a few plan changes in the select_parallel test, but those all look more reasonable than before, when the actual underlying cost numbers are taken into account.
