Yeah, I was thinking the same. A large proportion of uk pubs are leased by the likes of Star (Heineken), Punch, Enterprise etc, and they really do screw their landlords on alcohol ties. Free houses basically procure alcohol at 1/2 the

Love this! Must admit, my favourite part of doing a CS degree was creating a CPU core from scratch (a cut down ARM, running on a FPGA), then writing asm to run on it. So satisfying knowing I made the actual CPU (at gate level) and ran my ow

I was expecting this to be about INSERT performance/overhead (both IO and CPU), which is the metric that matters most when dealing with the overhead of materialized views.
