Can you give an example query for "list all queries executed since 12.00 AM, order by block_reads desc"? What I'm
aimingfor 
is the ability to turn "measuring" on, regression test my application, turn "measuring" off again, and list the most
offensivequeries executed during the regression test. I know of at least one other DBMS that is capable of this...won't
mentionwhich one :)

I think what I'm looking for is MV support out-of-the-box, i.e "CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW foo_mv AS .. "

Too bad - I think that will keep a lot of potential users from evaluating Pg as a serious alternative. Good or bad,
decidefor yourself :)

Sure - as soon as I'm finished with my 4 other hobby projects. Too many ideas, too little time.. *sigh* :/
