A little further tweaking of the range-query selectivity logic:
to avoid undue sensitivity to roundoff error, believe that a zero
or slightly negative range estimate should represent a small
positive selectivity, rather than falling back on a generic default

clauses for that rel only.  Upshot was that if join clause was very

Bruce Momjian [Thu, 16 Mar 2000 15:34:36 +0000 (15:34 +0000)]
libpq++ Makefile uses -DDEBUG to turn on debugging trace to
/tmp/trace.out.
However, elog.h uses DEBUG as a log-level flag.  As a result, tracing is
turned on even if the libpq++.so is built with DEBUG commented out in
