Hi,

Curt, you are rigth. I tested it.

My idea was only to compare postgres with oracle and to see if it is good.

I got the simplest example with simple data inserting.

I do not have any answer on my questin:

Is postgres good as performace compared to oracle and if yes how to fine tune it.

I readet all docs that Ifound, changed shared buffers and sort chache but can not

get good result.

 

And the second question:

Was enyone from the list a good perofmed postgres and if yes can I receiv this test result.

If no one had good tuned postgres I do not see the need to use it. For me it can be only "play", demo or...?

 

Thanks.

Why? Given that there are only five values in the column in question
in a table with over a million rows, the selectivity of the index
would be so low I can't see how postgres would ever use it.
