So, for postgres, that means:
- a good thing the autovacuum thingy is coming along
- postgres should auto-tune itself - the *cost could perhaps be
adjusted after some statistics have been collected, and there should be
some sensible way to determine an optimal setting for the famous
shared_buffers (and the default should be something that gets reasonable
performance on common cases)
No, I don't expect the second one soon - I know how hard it is. No, I'm
not debating that PostgreSQL is not much, much, much easier to
administrate and set up than Oracle. I'm just saying that there are
*some* small arcane details in postgres, too (although, at least, they
don't affect stability, just performance).
cheers
