Andrew,
I disagree, I wouldn't want to contend with all the complexities
and kludge of Oracle thank you very much. If there was a way to get
PostgreSQL to do better than the current clustering methods, then why not, it would be a
big win for us.
PostgreSQL *is* an enterprise class DB after all, and we should be
improving upon it to do so and remain so.
Cheers,
Aly.
