Anyone in a university likely has access through their library. But I don't really think this is the right way to go about this. Research papers are going to turn up pretty specialized solutions that are probably patented. We don't even have the basic understanding we need. I suspect a basic textbook chapter on multistage sampling will discuss at least the standard techniques. Once we have a handle on the standard multistage sampling techniques that would be safe from patents then we might want to go look at research papers to find how they've been applied to databases in the past but we would have to do that fairly carefully. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
