Just curious if this would apply to PostgreSQL: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1814327
<http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1814327>Now that I've read it, it seems like a no-brainer. So, how does PostgreSQL deal with the different latencies involved in accessing data on disk for searches / sorts vs. accessing data in memory? Is it allocated in a similar way as described in the article such that disk access is reduced to a minimum?
