Is it just me, or has there been a rash of "I'm thinking about postgres and coming from an oracle background" questions recently?

Re: [GENERAL] Postgresql feature
If you use it enough, I think it is inevitable that something, sometime, somewhere will really honk you off about Oracle. With the feature bloat they're into these days, very likely it will be something you care nothing about that does it, too.

Re: [GENERAL] Postgresql feature
Amen to that. I have to use Oracle at work, but I use PostgreSQL for all my side stuff. Man do I ever miss psql when I'm in SQL*Plus...

There is a project on gborg (or maybe pgfoundry) called pgjobs which
aims to create an oracle like task schedular in postgresql. not sure how
mature it is but might be worth a look for those interested in this.
