BUG #1238: postgres option -Q used in src/test/bench

"PostgreSQL Bugs List" <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> writes:

src/test/bench/create.sh and src/test/bench/runwisc.sh both invoke
"postgres" with a -Q option which is not supported in 8.0 Beta1.

These scripts really need to be thrown away or rewritten entirely.
Benchmarks against a standalone backend are not interesting in the real
world. I doubt anyone has tried to run these in the past five years...

regards, tom lane

I removed the -Q mention in the comments but Tom already fixed this in
early September.

Actually, I deliberately left that comment alone, since it appeared to
me to be a statement of historical fact --- ie, that *was* what they did
for some now-forgotten paper --- not a recommendation of how to do
things now. It's a judgment call though.

Yea, I just remove the entire comment. It is just too long to be
relevant, no?
