Hi All,



Roy shamed me into editing the Wiki entry for Ingres...For which I duly
apologise.



I suck at presentation. I generally have the look of someone who's just
been dragged backwards through a hedge...and this extends to most things
I engage in. You can take the boy out of Wangaratta, you just can't take
the Wangaratta out of the boy!



So please all of you highly polished individuals get on to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingres_(database) and start sprinkling the
Pizazz onto it.

Not even if you put him in a Victorian nut-house...

For some reason that link didn't render properly in my newsreader (XPN),
so just in case it isn't an XPN bug, here it is again:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingres_(database).

The link should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingres_database

LOL, or even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingres_(database)

This gets appropriately redirected

Hey Marty, Roy

Is there a protocol for updating this page? I was able to make changes
without signing in.
Do I need to crack open a stubby before starting?


I fixed a couple of typos and learned something new.

"Indexes may be queried directly. In most respects they behave just like
tables."


It seems like it could be useful but I'm not sure how yet.


CREATE INDEX idx_customer_name ON customer (lastname) WITH STORAGE =
BTREE\g

SELECT lastname FROM idx_customer_name \g

My daughter insists that I must wear my "Wikipedia editing shirt".
But she thinks most of my clothes are for editing wikipedia. She can be
very hurtful.

It's true, but it is highly inadvisable to hard-code something like
that. Ingres is perfectly capable of recognizing when it is useful, and
will re-write your query accordingly. But more to the point, it is
capable of recognizing when it is not useful, and if you've hard-coded
it you are stuck with it. Indexes are not as helpful as is
often assumed.

Hi Roy,

There is a difference in contactability...IIRC if you don't sign in your
more visible to the outside world and more likely to be spammed off the
planet.
