Not terribly seriously --- the penaltie
Hi all,
I have a few questions related to recovering from a near-miss with
transactionid wraparound.
I'm currently running a vacuum freeze in single user mode on our largest
database (about 36 TB). It's been running for about 10 days (since the
database shut itself down to avoid xid wraparoun
I tested the hybrid approach during my months-long testing and performance
stuff, and I was a bit underwhelmed.
That said, what _I_ personally really needed was increase in peak iops. Using
spindles for "static" data (OS, some logs, and such) worked fine, but no matter
how I split up the pg st

Actually it is kinda complicated:

When you say "16 10K drives," do you mean:
a) RAID 0 with 16 drives?
b) RAID 1 with 8+8 drives?
c) RAID 5 with 12 drives?
d) RAID 1 with 7+7 drives and 2 hotspares?
We moved from a 14 FC drive (15k RPM) array (6+6 with 2 hotspares) to a 6 SSD

Hello,
I have a table which contains 5 columns the last 3 indicate wether the
employer worked with given project or not. The values are simply Yes
and No. What I need is a list of people who haven't worked in at least
one project.
So for example we have data:
John Smith Yes No Yes
Tim Robins No
