Speaking of which... what's the status of the patch that allows seqscans to piggyback on already running seqscans on the same table? > So where should I go look, to see what's been done so far, on a Postgres > that can treat another PG server as a new table type? To the best of my knowledge no such work has been done. There is a project (who's name escapes me) that lets you run queries against a remote postgresql server from a postgresql connection to a different server, which could serve as the basis for what you're proposing. BTW, given your experience, you might want to check out Bizgres. (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/bizgres/) I'm sure your insights would be most welcome. -- Jim C.
