Gotcha. Don't get me wrong though, PG14 is great, and it's faster... just make sure you turn JIT off if you compile with LLVM. :))

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Great to hear about your experience. Some of these edge cases are quite rare, and it's great to have them documented in a consolidated format - even as a comment.

I guess the reason why they are edge cases is - at least to some extent - because nowadays most devs rely almost exclusively on ORMs to deal with databases, which means they never really get to know or learn about the true power of an RDBMS.

Once again, thanks Laurence.
