Re: [GENERAL] Re: What's WAL

Hello,

Thanks,

Yes, the Illuminati has spoken. :)

The quote is from Vadim in the "Re: [GENERAL] Postgres INSERTs much
slower than MySQL?" thread.
After I sent my message and continued reading the new messages in my
box, I read the post to which you refer.

Now the intrigue is over. I are educated. :)

I was not aware that DejaNews had the postgresql mailing lists. I'll
have to look into this.

Thanks.
