Обсуждение: 8.3 and 8.4 feature list

Hi,

I am  migrating from Sybase to Postgres.

trying to get a hold on the issue of future releases feature list.

1. Where can I find the feature list for 8.3 ? When is it expected?
2. And for 8.4?
3. Who is the guy to ask about a feature like "startup migrate" in ORACLE?

Thanks

Danny

The roadmap currently shows 8.3 releasing sometime this summer. At this
time, you should expect fall.

Our typical release cycle is 12-18 months.

There is no "guy", what does the feature do? A little googling appears
to say that it migrates from 1 oracle version to another? PostgreSQL
does not support this feature.

You could of course sponsor development of the feature.

Startup migrate opens the database in a special status in order to be able to
run migration scripts correctly.
It deactivates certain triggers, ignores errors when asked to drop
non-existing objects, and does several other things of the same kind.

I don't really see the point of having it in postgresql (no script to run
between minor versions, full dump/import between major versions)
