[HACKERS] Slow count(*)

[Abraham, Danny]

Hi,

We are looking for a patch that will help us  count using the indexes.

Our product is about 20 times slower on Postgres compared to MS SQL
Server.

Any ideas?

[HACKERS] Feature lists for 8.3 and 8.4

[Abraham, Danny]

Hi,

I am  migrating from Sybase to Postgres.

trying to get a hold on the issue of future releases feature list.

1. Where can I find the feature list for 8.3 ? When is it expected?
2. And for 8.4?
3. Who is the guy to ask about a feature like "startup migrate" in ORACLE?

Thanks

Danny
