Re: interest in this list?

People,

Two things come to mind:

- Is anyone interested in running an intro course on PL/pgSQL ? - I
have never really had DBs myself that needed this sort of performance
improvement but it would be a good thing to do.

- I soon will need to set up large and growing DBs of large chunks of
written text and be able to parse that for semantic meaning - it looks
like Sphynx and Xapian would be more suited to this sort of stuff but it
would be nice if I could stick to PG - any comments?

Thanks,

Phil.
