Does anyone know what the status of external large objects is?
Did they disappear without a trace and will they ever make a comeback? I was
reading about Xdelta the other night and I thought that postgresql would be
a great interface for this sort of program if it still supported the
interface.
My guess is that the problem is a very difficult one to solve well. The
backends have to reliably communicate between each other in order to stop
two processes writing to the one record. The communication times between 2
processes on the one machine and on two different machines would be at least
What would the the best choice for the WAL mirroring, raid3 or 5. How big
does the WAL grow? mirroring is fine as long as the size isn't too big.

I would make sure that an intel box won't suit before looking at sun. Simply
for cost and if you're planning to run linux on it sun support will be shit
because they don't have skills in that area.
Databases thrive on more spindles, separate system spindles from the db
spindles and swap spindles,
I think that all this fat should be put on the fire.
A nice performance test on the same high end hardware would be good. Is
there a test suite that would suit?
Would anyone expect more than a 5% difference in performance between the
OS's even using the dreaded ext2 and not the reiserfs or SGI XFS
Oracle financials has about 2000 tables in a single database :> but of
course that must not be designed using structured design techniques.
