Right. You can in any case get a great deal of free advice by starting a pghackers discussion ;-) It should be noted that "because Oracle does it that way" is a guaranteed nonstarter as a rationale for any Postgres feature proposal. There are enough differences between Postgres and Oracle that you will need to do significant investigation before assuming that an Oracle- based feature design is appropriate for Postgres. Aside from technical differences, we have fundamentally different priorities --- one of which is simplicity of administration. You'll get no buyin on proposals that tend to create Oracle-like difficulties of installation and tuning. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
