I would be interested to know your qualifications as a DBA, when talking 
about "bad DBA habits"? The "real issue" is always under-performing SQL 
which needs to be improved. Sometimes, it is possible to do quickly, 
sometimes it isn't. I can see that you've never had a VP staring over 
your shoulder and asking "is it fixed yet"? I have lived through such 
situations. And they can only be resolved by hints.
Also, how in the world do you propose to deal with correlated columns and 
partitioned tables? PostgreSQL optimizer is atrocious when it comes to 
partitioned tables.
