Обсуждение: Farewell
It's time for formal acknowledgement that I'm not in The Project any more.
I'm not interested in small features/fixes and have no time for big ones.
It was this way for very long time and I don't see how/when that could change.
My participation in The Project was one of the greatest adventures in my life.
Thanks to everyone!
Good luck on your ways.
And - long live to Postgres!!!
Vadim

I know that a lot of what makes PostgreSQL what it is today is can be directly
atttributed to your work. Thank you. And thank you for the personal help
back when I was working on the PostgreSQL trigger documentation.

It's hard to imagine PostgreSQL with out MVCC, WAL, subselects, etc. You know, maybe on the Developer's page there should be a "PostgreSQL Hall of Fame" with Vadim and Thomas Lockhart being the first two inductees.

If you had not been here in the PostgreSQL community, I might not have been here. Thank you and good luck to you. Hiroshi Inoue
I never know what to say in response to stuff like this ... its like
having to sign a card when a co-worker leaves ... then again, unlike most
co-workesr, I can definitely say its been a great pleasure to have known,
and worked, with you ... you brought, and gave, alot to the project, and
for that, we thank you ... thanks :)

Your work on PostgreSQL has most certainly been of great benefit to all of us - I cannot speak for others, but I certainly appreciate your efforts. Regards, Dave.

Just a "me too" ... we'll all miss you. Thanks so much for all the work
you have put into Postgres. And best of luck in your future activities.

Vadim, > FarewellIt's time for formal acknowledgement that I'm not in The Project > any more. Bye! Aside from one meeting in 2001, I know you only from your work. But that's a very lasting impression ... even should you never come back to us, I think people will still be seeing your name in the code for many years to come.
