Would certainly be nice. Realistically, getting good automated performace tests will require paying someone like Greg S., Mark or me for 6 solid months to develop them, since worthwhile open source performance test platforms currently don't exist. That money has never been available; maybe I should do a kickstarter. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
