Since I appreantly like monologs .. MySQL also has other features that

default charset on the database, table and column level, as well as
COLLATE support to determine the sort order at runtime.
Anyways what I want to make clear is simply that there are plenty of
features that come with the default distro of other RDBMS that are
only available via the pgfoundery. There are also plenty of features
available in pgfoundry not available in any other RDBMS. However
newbies that evaluate which RDBMS to use will probably never know.
None of these is really connected in any way with any sort of
modularisation. When we get table and column level charset and collation
support it will surely be in the core, and not in an addon module.
The topic here is NOT what features are missing from postgres.
Oh, and we *do* have per database charsets.
