I was just looking at all the upcoming features scheduled to make it
into 8.3, and with all those goodies, wouldn't it make sense for this
to be a 9.0 release instead of an 8.3? It looks like postgresql is
rapidly catching up to oracle if 8.3 branch gets every feature
scheduled for it.
About the only big features pg 8.3 doesn't have is materialized views
and RMAN..
Now that PostgreSQL is getting so close to oracle functionality, is
there any worry in the community that oracle will begin to target
postgres like they're targeting mySQL?
