Hi, if I may add to the wishlist for 7.4 in order of importance. Some items
may have been mentioned or disputed already but I think they are quite
important:
1. Avoid needing REINDEX after large insert/deletes or make REINDEX not use
exclusive lock on table.
2. Automate VACUUM in background and make database more
interactive/responsive during long VACUUMs
3. Replication
4. Point-in-time recovery
5. Maintain automatic clustering (CLUSTER) even after subsequent
insert/updates.
6. Compression between client/server interface like in MySQL
Thanks,
Stephen
