Optimization_goal = 'Response-time'

[reimer_pods]

After converting a client's database from ASA 9.0.2 to SA 12.0.1 I checked the value of the database option "optimization_goal" and found 'Response-time'.

What will SA 12 do if the database option "optimization_goal" is set to this value? Will it be treated as if it was "First-row"?

Well, when you use

set option optimization_goal = 'Response-time'

against a v12.0.1 database, the value is shown as 'First-row'.

So it might be an (undocumented?) synonym for "First-row".

Leaving the question why your new (and old?) database has stored that value...
