I have a Postgres admin question.
I have a large number of accounting and marketing users that feel Access
is a perfectly legitimate database for them to set up, populate with data
(and nasty wierd queries), then hand over to me to administer (complaining
that it doesn't run fast is usually a first symptom).
I feel "format c:" is a perfectly good response to this scenario.
Now I'm relegated to a corner of the copy room, and my personal
workstation is a Mac Classic which, BTW, I can't get Postgres to compile
on.
Is there some indexing strategy or backup regimen I could implement that
would make all this better?
