hi stephan
yes, analyze is showing "index scan backwards". so for pg-sql it does not
make a difference in speed whether "index scan" is done forward/backward?
cool! in mssql it did make quite a difference to specify the prefered index
sort order, hence my question.
before i annoy the list with other migration-related, obvious questions, is
there a good documentation on migrating from mssql to pgsql?
cheers,
thomas
