Re: Probable faq: need some benchmarks of pgsql vr.s mysql

[Brian Hurt <bhurt(at)spnz(dot)org>]

For the record, the table we're having trouble inserting into is ~100 rows 
with ~50 indexes on it.  E.F Codd is spinning in his grave.  The reason 
they went with this design (instead of one that has two tables, each with 
3-6 columns, and about that many indexes) is that "joins are slow". 
Which they may be on Mysql, I don't know.  But this is (unfortunately) a 
different battle.
