i know there are some pearls in the archives, but without the search
function working, it's a though job,i am reading articles based on
subject - which means i'll miss many of them. ("An error occured!
could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server
running on host localhost and accepting TCP/IP connections on port
5432?" )

i don't have a project to kill :) i just got deramy about design of
NGPW (Next Generation Persistent World :)))

too much abstraction is problem only at the start of implementation,
until then, the architect can still work more on it. But i agree -
too much abstraction at the enddesign leaves too many options to
implementators. if all the possible options are equivalent, that's
not a problem. but they usualy aren't.
