To expand this one in case of confusion, saying KERNEL here (for simplicity) I mean GEOM view of things things which believes (and I think it is a big mistake and source of many problems, including my one) that in-core table must always reflect on-disk table and vice versa. More traditional and shared by many OSes is another view: on-disk table must be read once to the in-core table and forget at the running time. -- http://ache.pp.ru/
