Okay, here's my idea of how I will get into it:
1) Try to get my apps going. That is I'll try to port my ORACLE
applications to postgresql to have some programs to do testing.
Therefore I need:
2) Add Linus' ecpg precompiler for embedded SQL to the dist.
3) Try to implement some speed-ups I encounter while playing with my
apps.
I take it some of you have already run the backend against a profiler.
Could anyone please tell me which functions need works most?
Michael
