Actually i've already done some work back in august. I tried to implement ARC in pgsql but failed to due to lack of time. After renewed discussion with Bruce and Jan, i've decided to give it another try. So hopefully w'll have a patch soon from me or Jan. The algorithm itself is very elegant and works "automagically". -- Cuong Bui Loki IT Solutions http://www.lokishop.nl Powers your webcommerce! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
