The ratio of benefits to costs in my case is close to infinity : I have no formal training in computer programming, so I learned practically everything on lists (plus a few books and a lot of documentation), and have been making a leaving out of it for fifteen years. I consider it essential to read them, to see what are real life situations and the usually numerous possible answers, many of which one person would not know about; it's like training for a professional athlete, and one has to practice every day. Also, on numerous occasions, some thread I followed out of interest lead me to a very suitable solution for a problem at hand within the next few days of work : many hours were saved that way. I could go on, but in short vital is the right word I'd say. (I'll just mention that I am in constant awe at the level of expertise dispensed in this particular list) -- Vincent Veyron http://marica.fr/ Logiciel de gestion des assurances sinistres et des dossiers contentieux pour le service juridique -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
