I guess that is my problem - I a not sure it is running fine. The
process is definitely running but I am getting lots of complaints
about performance. This probably has lots to do with crap code and not
much to do with the database but I am still searching the maintenance
avenue... We have a massive project coming up and I want to go for
Postgres (the boss wants Oracle). If I can't get my stuff together I
am not sure my arguments will stick... problem is I don't really have
the time to experiment properly.
