Well, it's actually not quite that bad. The tab-completion code has a hard-coded limit (literally) of 1000 relations in the SQL it sends to the backend, so over 1000 any slowdown is simply a limitation on how fast Postgres can execute the query and serve it up to psql. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200502211216 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFCGhmavJuQZxSWSsgRAvCbAJ9mKvfuJ0Es8U6Mzl+xRQoVeAAsjACdF0gN oXklUXpX9Vhs57KS3CGk3uY= =/6Yx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
