Re: [HACKERS] Improving REINDEX for system indexes (long)

2003-09-22 Thread Hiroshi Inoue
I've just put back your previous change, sorry. As I already mentioned many times it must be the first thing. Though I don't remenber my code completely yet, I would reply to some points. Unfortunately REINDEX wasn't a eagerly wanted command when I implemented it. Though I want

I am back from speaking in Mexico. I was one of the keynote speakers at this event. This is evidence of how far PostgreSQL has come in just the past year. PostgreSQL is now a "must have" for most open-source events. FYI, we have lots of PostgreSQL users in Mexico. Catching up on email now. --
