youa lot for helping me.

PostgreSQLagain.  But please excuse me for my slow restart, as the blank period needs some rehabilitation.

mightoverlook some styling problems like indentation in the documentation patches.  I'd appreciate it if you could
introducea nice editor for editing SGML/XML documents.

advancedopen source database" to "most popular and advanced database".  In that respect, I want to expand the
PostgreSQLecosystem (interoperability with other software), as well as adding new features.  Let me consult you about
howto expand the ecosystem in another thread soon.

willbecome a MPP database for OLTP and analytics by integrating with Postgres-XL/XC.  I don't yet figure out which
segmentPostgreSQL should aim for, now that Hadoop family is prominent in analytics and MySQL is still more popular in
Webapps.  I'd like to know what community people are seeing in the future of PostgreSQL.
