I've been using PostgreSQL for a few years now in various projects, and
I've been very happy with its features and performance.

I have a client who wants to know how PostgreSQL (7) will perform over
NFS.  The NFS client is Solaris, the server is a big network storage
appliance.  The network is probably gigabit ethernet.

My first reaction is to tell them they're just crazy, and that's not how
a database is intended to work, and they should buy some fast, redundant
local storage.   I thought I'd ask the designers and users here so I could
back up my recommendations.
