Re: [QUESTIONS] On the febr. 28 snapshot

Furthermore, it appaers as if buil;ding indices on varchar fields are
*much* slower. Probably because the changes to how they're stored on
disk. I suspect text willalso be slower. Didn't get to do much other
testing yet (still building indices..), but if I notice other strange
things, I'll lt them know to all of you (sorry for the mis-spellings, my
compu isn't very responsive att the moment)..

[Moved to hackers list.]

Is varchar/text slower than it used to be, or slower than char()?

Should just be slower than char(), not slower than old code.

btw. at what time do you expect 6.3 to be released? Will the goal of
march 1st be reached?

March 1 is still target.
