Was this all the same basic task implemented by different teams then?

Yep.

Can we see the code?  hack it?  I'm sure someone here could help out.

Sure.

I don't care about the contest, but it would be nice to be able to put
out a version that could compete with MySQL's.

Sure. The main db-contest site of the magazine is [1], but it's all german. You'lll find an english translation of the original article, describing the problem to solve in [2].

The contest entries are downloadable on [3]. Mine is the 'bluegap' one. If you want to hack together a high-performance solution based on PostgreSQL I'd start with Alvar C.H. Freude's disqualified entry.

Happy hacking

Markus
