Thank you for the lecture Andrew! Really pleasant way to treat a
user and a fan of the system. :)
I confess to being mightily confused.
Sure, to clarify:
Andrew, you just told someone who in a db stack sits both below (as a
pgsql user 15 years) and above (as a FreeBSD kernel dev 15 years) your
software what they "really need".
I told you what *we* (i.e. the PostgreSQL community) need, IMNSHO (and
speaking as a Postgres developer and consultant of 10 or so years standing).
cheers
andrew
