You guys, and PG ROCK!! The standard_conforming_strings mode works
beautifully... it is (was) the last low-level barrier to using PG in a
really professional/interop environment. And as I become familiar,
again, with how PG and it's tools have come along, I am SUPER impressed.
Many, many kudos!

Hi,
I'm trying out the new 8.2 beta; the following query:
select 'ab\cd'; yields: abcd, not ab\cd.
Is there a setting I'd need to switch to enable the ANSI/ISO escape
behavior? I am using the JDBC driver; not sure if that could be the
culprit..
Thanks,

Ok, just so I can be sure I understand what I just read: i. says that
you can assign to an array that has not been initialized. ii. states
that the index of an insertion into an array should not be limited by
the current range of index values of the array and requires any gaps in
the index
I would expect no performance difference at all. All primary keys
automatically get an index, and the index is effectively an optimized
dictionary, hash, two-dimensional array, or list of tuples of the key
values and the address of the record for that key. Indexes are designed
to eliminate the ph

As of 8.2 we could allow assignment to
arbitrary positions by filling the intermediate positions with nulls.
The code hasn't actually been changed to allow that, but it's

Hi all,
Is there any good benchmark suite for testing postgresql performance?
i tried to work with pgbench but found pgbench source (v 8.0.x and 7.4.x) but
couldnt compile with gcc ($gcc -o pgbench pgbench.8.0.x.c)
postgres 8.1.4 is on AMDx86_64 platform.
