   I did not explicitly evict the Postgres buffer cache, but using pg_buffercache to evict all buffers for the table, yields a runtime of 23ms for me (still going for the BitmapOr). https://notebin.de/?ac3fcf55e6850f47#ERXndRrq

   Not sure on which Postgres version this was tested with, but the first example runs in about 2ms with my Postgres 17 installation ("cold cache"). It uses a BitmapOr on the two defined indexes. https://notebin.de/?5

   SQL Anywhere doesn't really have "Sybase" roots. It started out as Watcom SQL, then after Watcom was acquired by PowerSoft, it was renamed to "SQL Anywhere". After Sybase acquired PowerSoft it was later renamed to &

   My favorite "strange unit" is poronkusema: "A Sami measurement of distance; the distance a reindeer can travel before needing to stop to urinate. Today used to describe something that is at a very obscure distance away"

   The article is about UUID v7, so any criticism of v1 is irrelevant here (plus Postgres has supported v4 out of the box for quite a while now)

   Maps where Europe and Asia are on the left and the Americas are on the right are also quite irritating - but not wrong either.

    Oracle's "flash cache" was that, but that was mainly intended to mitigate performance of spinning hard disks. Not sure if that is still a thing though. If I'm not mistaken, then Oracle's Exadata puts "intellige

    I was working on a COBOl program in the late 80's that stored the year as a single digit value. Sounded totally stupid when I was explained the structure. But records were removed after 4 years automatically, so it wasn't a proble

    That statement is not part of the license as far as I can tell. The author apparently doesn't want his/her software to be used by right-wing fascists. Which seems to be an understandable point of view in times where democratic val
