Thanks! The box should get PostgreSQL in the not too distant future. 
It'll get a backup from prod, but will act as new prod, so it might take 
some time until a job can be run and a profile collected.

Understood. Either profile manually or expand the function.

Yeah, could be. It'll be interesting to see for sure. I should get a 
chance to collect such profile and then I'll post it back here -
