MySQL has to first add some features in order to have some bugs, don't they?

Some people crack me up in their opinions.. If it took him 6 hours to figure
out int8 then I'm not really interested in anything else he has to say...

First, are you using the latest PG? I was under the impression that all
the hard-coded limitations on size had been eliminated in the latest
releases. I know for an absolute fact that I can insert multi-megabyte sized
text chunks in PG 7.1.2 as I've done just that before...
Good luck!
Hi Steve, lets approach this from the other angle...
I don't see anywhere in your email where you say what makes you think that
you can only pass a query 8191 bytes in size to PG. What exactly makes you
think that there is some hard coded limit? This limit is not in 7.1.2 so

Hmm. I'm pretty sure that a single index on the entire contents of a
resume *as a single field* is close to useless. And an index on an 8k
piece is also useless. Presumably you really want an index covering each
significant word of each resume, in which case you would not run into

If you installed in the default directory then the files relating to a
database are in
/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/databasename
So you could just total up the size of everything under that directory.

No, WAL does help, cause you can then pull in your last dump and recover

False, on so many counts I can't list them all.
Why? If we're not talking hardware damage and you have a dump made sometime
previous to the crash, why
I guess it depends on what you're using it for -- disk space is cheap and
abundant anymore, I can see some advantages of having it computed only once
rather than X times, where X is the number of SELECTs as that could get
costly on really high traffic servers.. Costly not so much for simple
So, having _both_ is the best thing.
Absolutely, that's always what I meant -- we already have views and views
can do this type of stuff at SELECT time can't they? So it's not a change,
