I won't dispute the specifics. I have only worked on the DB2 engine -
never written an app for it nor administered it. You're right - the
bottomline is that you can get a significant performance advantage
provided you care enough to understand what's going on.
Anyway, I merely responded to provide a data point. Will PostgreSQL
users/administrators care for additional knobs or is there a
preference for "keep it simple, stupid" ?
