Re: Oracle to Postgres training at PGConf US

I am not sure that "skills in playing Go" are synonymous with "being smart". If you check the dictionary, you will not find the game of Go being mentioned anywhere:

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/smart?s=t

And when I was a DBA, I knew my data really well and was frequently asked to speed up a piece of SQL code. With Oracle, I was mostly successful. With Postgres, not so much, because I was lacking the means to do so. Also, the premise that "hints are optimizer bugs" is dead wrong. Hints are means to override the optimizer. All other major databases have them, for a reason. So does Postgres. Despite its developer community. Regards
