Hello. I thought I'd just toss out a few thoughts: 1) Should a link to the release changes for 7.3.3 be on the website? I had to look into the web-interface of CVS to see what was actually changed.
2) It would be nice if some regular performance tests could be done upon every release on some stock machine whose configuration never changes to give some numerical hints as to the value of an upgrade. 3) I got bit by using the explicit join syntax just like Thomas Lockhart had predicted. I then removed the syntax to let the planner do its job. Queries which took around 10 seconds took 5 minutes. I then disabled GEQO and the queries ran in around a second. I noticed that the explicit join syntax will no longer confine planning choices in 7.4, but is it possible the GEQO threshold, as a default, is too low?
