What so toy in Windows? With some experience on huge DBs, one on Windows ( MS SQL 2K ) works x1.5/2 faster, than one on Linux/Sun ( pg 7.3.3 ). Read-only transactions tho. Is Linux ready for big dbs, I would say yes, with new kernel I say definitely yes. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
