Not really. I haven't settled on any specific vendor at this point, I've just been given the okay to massively upgrade our core database systems to 64-bit mid-rangy iron, which I've scheduled for 1Q2004. Since we use Postgres on Linux, that means big Opteron boxes that are maxed out. If things keep going like they are, I could shortly be running on of the biggest PostgreSQL implementations out there. That could be both good AND bad. :-) Cheers, -James Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
