The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1238
Logged by:          A Wu

Email address:      sunwukong@ieee.org

PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta

Operating system:   Linux 2.6.7-gentoo-r14 x86_64

Description:        postgres option -Q used in src/test/bench

Details:

src/test/bench/create.sh and src/test/bench/runwisc.sh both invoke
"postgres" with a -Q option which is not supported in 8.0 Beta1. Deleting -Q
from both files allows the scripts to run to completion.

These scripts really need to be thrown away or rewritten entirely.
Benchmarks against a standalone backend are not interesting in the real
world.  I doubt anyone has tried to run these in the past five years...

I removed the -Q mention in the comments but Tom already fixed this in
early September.

Actually, I deliberately left that comment alone, since it appeared to
me to be a statement of historical fact --- ie, that *was* what they did
for some now-forgotten paper --- not a recommendation of how to do
things now.  It's a judgment call though.

Yea, I just remove the entire comment.  It is just too long to be
relevant, no?
