Just ran into another one. PostgreSQL creates tables as all lowercase,
even if the SQL statement is in uppercase. Since I'm using the
pg_tables view to check for the existance of tables, this makes the case
in the WHERE clause significant. Oracle forces everything to uppercase.
PostgreSQL forces everything to lowercase. Argh!!

One big difference that you should look for is case sensitivity in WHERE
clauses. I know that SQL-SERVER defaults to case-insensitive and you
have
to go through hoops to do a case sensitive search. PostreSQL defaults
to
case sensitive and uses the non-standard "ILIKE" verb to generate a
case-insensitive WHERE clause.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
