Go for it, Tom. After the posting the other day about the 200GB data per
week data load, this _really_ needs to be done. It won't directly affect me,
as my needs are a little more modest (just about anything looks modest
compared to _that_ data load).
Petty limitations such as these two need to go away, and soon -- we're
getting used by big installations now. This isn't Stonebraker's research
Postgres anymore. The 7.1 removal of previous limitations was nearly overdue
-- and these two issues of ID wrap need to be addressed -- my gut feel is
that the reports of OID/XID wrap are going to skyrocket within 6 months as
bigger and bigger installations try out PostgreSQL/RHDB (fact is that many
are going to try it out _because_ it has been relabeled by Red Hat....).
The MySQL/NuSphere articles illustrate that -- the NuSphere guy goes as far
as saying that the support of _Red_Hat_ is what gives PG credibilitiy -- and,
you have to admit, RH's adoption of PG does increase, in many circles, PG's
credibility.
Of course, PG has credibility with me for other reasons -- it was, IMHO, just
a matter of time before Red Hat saw the PostgreSQL Light.....
