Yup .. that's from Joe Hellerstein, who was the instructor in the Spring when I was a TA.

The best part was that we got to pick up 3 great undergraduates for our research - and pgsql hacking experience is invaluable in hacking TelegraphCQ. Mike> How about extra credit for PITR? One step at a time :-) Actually a big problem is figuring out new pieces for the projects. Most of the items in the TODO list are way too much for a class project - we gave 'em 3 weeks to make the Hash GroupedAgg work for large numbers of unique values (by using a form of hybrid hashing). Another thing I toyed with was having an implementation of a Tid-List-Fetch .. sorting a TID-list from an index and fetching the records of the relation off the sorted list for better IO performance. AFAICT something like this isn't present yet .. can pgsql do this already ? -- Pip-pip Sailesh http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~sailesh ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
