Yes, I know Magnus did a graph for the PG-EU conference and it was also flat; perhaps he can post it here. His chart was pulled from the Postgres archives, so it is even more accurate than our graphs. I also was confused by its flatness. I am finding the email traffic almost impossible to continue tracking, so something different is happening, but it seems it is not volume-related. I am going to post another blog tomorrow with more thoughts. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
