I think you all should really buy the book 'Database Development for Dummies'.
Postgresql is for sure the only database on this planet that cannot optimize a
select(max) using an index. Not even Microsoft has implemented such a design
deficiency yet and even MySQL which you like to talk so bad about uses an
index to optimize select max() queries. Some of you should really consider
attending a programming course and all of you should consider to stop working
on this totally screwed up monster!
