Hello. I'm just curious as to the 7.3 status of a couple of things:
1. Back in Feb. I wrote (in regards to Oracle behavior): "Unlike normal queries where blocks are added to the MRU end of an LRU list, full table scans add the blocks to the LRU end of the LRU list. I was wondering, in the light of the discussion of using LRU-K, if PostgreSQL does, or if anyone has tried, this technique?" Bruce wrote: "Yes, someone from India has a project to test LRU-K and MRU for large table scans and report back the results. He will implement whichever is best." Did this make it into 7.3? 2. Gavin Sherry had worked up a patch so that temporary relations could be dropped automatically upon transaction commit. Did any of those patches it make it? I notice that whenever I create a temporary table in a transaction, my HD light blinks. Is this a forced fsync() causes by the fact that the SQL standard defines temporary relations as surviving across transactions? If so, I'd bet those of us who use transaction-local temporary tables could get few drops more of performance from an ON COMMIT drop patch w/o fsync. Any thoughts?
