We've been working with a consultant to re-design/optimize some
existing DB systems we have running, and his background is mostly
Oracle and DB/2. Some of the optimizations -- actually operationally
related choices on how to do things -- are remarkably off-base for
Postgres. There is a *lot* to learn about a system before one can
truly "know" it.
