> Although if I had a $100 for every time I've had DB corruption in Postgres over the years...

You'd be broke. :)



That probably depends on a bunch of stuff.

- PG only added checksums in 9.3

- his disks or RAID controller could be shit or he could be using some 'very cool' filesystem

- Some people turn off PG settings for performance that really shouldn't be turned off

- Some people think ECC ram isn't worth the money

- or overclock their CPU on anything other than a gaming machine

Usually it's shit hardware
