That is simply not fair! I ambehind schedule, and don't need something
else is to prove how stupid I am! :-)

[SERIOUSLY]
That is great, I'll look at it when I have more time or need a distraction

Reading these lists is good. .Several times I've come across simple
things I never knew you could do so easily in Postgres, if at all. Also
I'm a lot more wary of casually fiddling with tuning parameters, much
more aware of the impact of various types of workloads and interaction
with different hardware configurations. Plus, I had never before
considered the interaction of RAM, the size of tables and indexes, in
the performance of queries -which is embarrassing, as i had been
developing using databases for over 20 years before using Postgres!
