Yeah, we differ there. I think having an Oracle compatibility layer
in PostgreSQL would be the-next-big-thing we could have. Oracle is has
orders of magnitude bigger user base than postgres has; and having the
ability to attract them would bring us many many more users which, in
turn, would benefit us all very significantly.
It would be my #1 priority to do in postgres (but yes, I know
-guess- how hard and what resources that would require). But dreaming is
free :)
Oracle compatibility certainly has merit, I just don't see it as useful
for core. I would be far more interested in MSSQL compatibility
honestly. That said, Postgres itself is a rockstar and I think we can
make our own case without having to copy others.
