Re: Locale by default?

If it's of any assistance, I'm working with the Open Source Database
Benchmark guys (osdb.sourceforge.net) to get an AS3AP-based benchmark
for PostgreSQL 7.1.x+ up-and-running reliably.

It's working on my Mandrake Linux 8.0 system here, but I need the main
OSDB guy to get back from holidays to review and commit things to their
CVS.  ETA of around a week from right now.  :)

My point is, if we've got decent benchmarking software (and we can
actually freely use it), we can do real-world validation tests when
considering things like Peter's suggestion.

Sounds good to me.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
