Maybe what we need is not to get rid of the flat files, but to speed them up. If we're worried about speed in the pg_authid flatfile, and come up with a solution to that problem, what will we do with the pg_database flatfile when it grows too large? We can't just get rid of it, because autovacuum needs to access it. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
