That's interesting. I'd no idea that work was done. Actually, I didn't really know that anyone had thought to have more than one processor back then :-) And I also now know the origins of the tenk1 table in the regression database. Those 10,000 rows were once used for benchmarking! I'm glad we're all using a couple more rows these days. -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
