Re: TPC-R benchmarks

Yes Josh,
L_partkey is a part of the foreign key on the Lineitem table, and it was
ok to create an index on it according to the TPC-R specs. I just created
indices on the rest of the FK columns in the TPC-R database and will
continue my evaluations.
Thanks.

Oleg

That would be appropriate for this case though, yes? That column is
part of
a foriegn key, unless I've totally lost track.

As I remarked before, Postgres does *not* automatically create indexes
for
FKs. Many, but not all, other database products do, so comparing
PostgreSQL
against those products without the index is unfair.
