Author MVCC intro and benefits docs?
Antoine

2006-03-28, 8:29 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know of any fairly entry-level documentation for the
benefits-drawbacks of MVCC in the db? As it relates to performance?
Postgres vs the others?
Cheers
Antoine

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
