Thread: Archives
I have been unable to successfully search the mailing list archives off of archives.postgresql.org for a few days now. Just me, or does anyone else experience this behaviour as well? Gavin

I commented on this a couple days ago, and Ian Barwick suggested Google: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=comp.databases.postgresql.hackers It seems to work quite well.

I should just mention that all the comp.databases.postgresql groups are listed here: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=comp.databases.postgresql although the newsgroups and mailing lists are not always in synch, so some posts may be missing or very late. A much better alternative which just occurred to me: http://geocrawler.com/lists/3/Databases/ (if you can bear sharing the same page as some MySQL lists ;-) Ian Barwick

Haven't heard back from him. Viable alternative: http://geocrawler.com/lists/3/Databases/ Archives the lists and not the newsgroups, so should be more comprehensive and seems pretty up-to-date. (BTW, geocrawler seems to use PostgreSQL, see: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20001112.php3 ) Ian Barwick
