Hello Simon, The journey that caused and is causing me a lot of pain is finding my way in PG development. Complex Code Reading like PG. Fully understanding the science of DBMS Engines: Query Processing, Storage stuff, Transaction Management and so on... Anyway as you said, the rough estimation towards any expertise seems to be in abidance with by The 10,000 Hour Rule. I will strive based on this rule. Start with not top-posting on the mailing list ;) For now, would please tell me how to know the exact PG version to which a specific patch was developed? Given x patch, how do I know the specific PG version it was developed for? If it a was created by git format-patch then the base git revision will be shown. This may be a commit from postgres public tree that you can find with 'git branch --contains'. Otherwise look at the proposed commit message if any, in the patch header. Or the email it was attached to. If all else fails guess based on the date.
