Re: [HACKERS] Re: Is anything preventing us from allowing write to foreign tables from standby?

Hi guys, please help me to understand the proposal. Take a simple configuration: Two "live" systems S1 and S2 and for each of them a Replica R1 and R2. So S1 sends data to R1 and S2 to R2. S1 has foreign tables on S2 with write access, meaning you can change a few data from S1 where information

WG: [HACKERS] Packages: Again

Hello, just my 2c on the topic.I work for an IT service provider as developer. Our customers are big international companies and they use Oracle a lot. My main work is with Oracle enterprise edition. I don't have to care about limitations of the smaller versions and don't have experience

Re: [HACKERS] increasing the default WAL segment size

Hello hackers, I'm no PG hacker, so maybe I'm completely wrong, so sorry if I have wasted your time. I try to make the best out of Tom Lanes comment. What would happen if there's a database on a server with initdb (or whatever) parameter -with-wal-size=64MB and later someone decides to make it

Re: [HACKERS] [COMMITTERS] pgsql: Use gender-neutral language in documentation

Re: [HACKERS] So, is COUNT(*) fast now?

Hello, my experience is that as soon as index only scans are available they are used - sometimes just because of the simple logic that a user thinks it is faster. Even when the index is so ridiculously long just to have all info in the index... Regards Wolfgang Wilhelm

Re: [HACKERS] Version Numbering

I don´t have any problem with PostgreSQL version numbering, to the contrary. The only thing I didn´t like was Postgres95, but I didn´t use Pg then. But since then it´s _consistent_ and I really appreciate that. I could live with, say, version 9.12.0 in a dozend years. I accept the alpha, beta
