*heh*
psql simply flew past - it's not a very big database (just about no real
data - but about 40 complex tables)....

I used to (last Friday, say :) be able to watch each table be created...
now it's almost instant. (~1/2 second per table creation before).

Disk space? about 1M - not big. yet.

On the flip side, this database will be holding all of the company sales
records / calls / customer accounting / etc.... as soon as the client
(Java) software is stable *grin*...
.. Also planning on selling the Java package - and doing installs of
Postgres/Linux on each one *grin* when possible. But I'm also going to
have to be windows/some database compatible and I'm not looking foreward
to that *deep sigh*.

G'day, eh? :)
