You conflate 'existence of x' with 'common agreement of existence of x'. Black holes existed decades/centuries ago but (from memory) there was no agreement they actually existed until gravity waves were detected jus

I've long wondered how Shulgin managed toxicity issues with new substances. There can be very little difference between something relatively safe and something very toxic (or even worse perhaps, cumulatively toxic) so that's very

Gotcha. It's a very different scenario from what I imagined and my suggestions don't apply. Agreed also your limited control on rewriting is limited and with the comment on clustered indexes. I do wonder how is it possible to run

OK... If the covering ix is as almost fat as the table there may be little benefit in it. If the original table can just fit in the ram but the orig table + covering index together can't, they may be fighting for space in ram which mea

Thanks, that's indeed my point. To clarify an earlier one where I said "The same query's behaviour can be utterly different depending on..." what I was saying was that the same query might be executed completely, tota

You can't admit other people have a valid objection so you just twist words and misrepresent others to avoid admitting your initial post was content-free and of no value. Please just stop.

You don't say if you'd been to that country, or experienced anything relevant that you presented, or anything to explain why you felt this way. As such, you give me nothing to ponder on nor any reason to agree with you (or even

JS disabled here and all I can see imagewise is the single mugshot of the author. Apparently you need javascript to show pictures. Is this deliberate perhaps. I wonder how much the JS weighs.
