[GENERAL] [OT] newsreader issue? (Was: bytea encode performance issues)

That LIKE operator is probably your problem. An unbounded LIKE like that
(with a wildcard on both sides) means no index can be used, hence you
get a sequential scan.


Was the message to which you responded posted to the newsgroup?  It isn't 
appearing in my newsreader.

The [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address is invalid.  I tried to send it this email:

If I remember correctly, the news feed is gatewayed off the mailing
list, so it's possible for a message to the list to not appear in the
group if it gets dropped at the gateway.  Sorry if this is redundant
info for you.

If you don't wish to receive spam on your regular email address
(understandable) then either switch to reading and posting with a
gmail account (got lots of invites, just ask) or set up a separate
account to receive emails from pgsql and set up spam assassin and (/
or) a couple of whitelists and use that.  It's kinda rude to ask me a
question on a mailing list with an email address I can't respond to.
I spend time writing up an answer that only you needed to see, and
then can't send it to YOU, but only the whole list.

He was quoting Alban Hertroys, and it appeared on the general mailing list
(I didn't even know there was a Newsgroup).

There seems to be a problem with your mail address, however ... ;}

One last thing.  I'd rather my emails just get dropped silently if
that's the minimum someone can do.  Use a valid email address that
goes to /dev/null and I'll be happy.  You may miss a few things sent
directly to you, but since that's not what you want anyway, it's no
big loss, right?

Wow!  So, maybe everybody did need to see then.  Still...

Aye ... dodgy spam-protection methods like that really suck.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I got the response by email, but it was also addressed to the mailing
list. My response was also an email sent to the mailing list, not to the
newsgroup. I got one other response, that I do not see in the newsgroup.
And I will reply to it also using the mailing list.
