<para>

In previous releases, GROUP BY values were accumulated and sorted

to obtain group-by counts; the 7.4 code places GROUP BY values in

hash buckets so sorting is not required, or reverts to the old

behavior if the group-by buckets will not fit in memory.
|

In previous releases, rows to be grouped had to be sorted first.
|

The 7.4 code can do GROUP BY without sorting, by accumulating results
|

into a hash table with one entry per group. It will still use the sort
|

technique if the hash table is estimated to be too large to fit in
