damn I agree with you Scott. I wish I had enough cash here to employ Tom and other pg magicians to improve performance for all of us ;) Thing is tho, postgresql is mostly used by companies, that either don't have that sort of cash, but still like to get the performance, or companies that have 'why pay if it is free' policy. now, about UK, combined with Ireland still is bit smaller than US ;) I don't know how about US, but in UK most companies still believe that MSCE personnel, few windows servers, with mssql are the best thing you can get... so. Oracle is really used by very very small minority. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
