Robert Haas f18c944b61 postgres_fdw: Add ORDER BY to some remote SQL queries.
If the join problem's entire ORDER BY clause can be pushed to the
remote server, consider a path that adds this ORDER BY clause.  If
use_remote_estimate is on, we cost this path using an additional
remote EXPLAIN.  If not, we just estimate that the path costs 20%
more, which is intended to be large enough that we won't request a
remote sort when it's not helpful, but small enough that we'll have
the remote side do the sort when in doubt.  In some cases, the remote
sort might actually be free, because the remote query plan might
happen to produce output that is ordered the way we need, but without
remote estimates we have no way of knowing that.

It might also be useful to request sorted output from the remote side
if it enables an efficient merge join, but this patch doesn't attempt
to handle that case.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
