 * planagg.c
 *	  Special planning for aggregate queries.
 *
 * This module tries to replace MIN/MAX aggregate functions by subqueries
 * of the form
 *		(SELECT col FROM tab
 *		 WHERE col IS NOT NULL AND existing-quals
 *		 ORDER BY col ASC/DESC
 *		 LIMIT 1)
 * Given a suitable index on tab.col, this can be much faster than the
 * generic scan-all-the-rows aggregation plan.  We can handle multiple
 * MIN/MAX aggregates by generating multiple subqueries, and their
 * orderings can be different.  However, if the query contains any
 * non-optimizable aggregates, there's no point since we'll have to
 * scan all the rows anyway.

 * the (UPPERREL_GROUP_AGG, NULL) upperrel.

 * the query parsetree.  Thus, all preprocessing needed before query_planner()
 * must already be done.  This relies on the list of aggregates in
 * root->agginfos, so preprocess_aggrefs() must have been called already, too.
