Re: [HACKERS] Mapping Oracle types to PostgreSQL types

Read this - http://www.compiere.org/technology/independence.html.  Compiere is accepting donations
to implement database independence.  Part of the plan is to implement some features in java
instead of the database.  Supported databases would then need to implement:

* Full support of ANSI SQL 99 (CASE, all JOIN types, ..)
* Inline Views (e.g. SELECT ... FROM (SELECT xx FROM yy) ..)
* Support of Views on Views
* Support of Functions (but not triggers or procedures)
