Someone to blame as a scapegoat for why his badly planned project had
failed. I've done several Oracle conversions before, and never met
someone who was so resistent to doing the right things for such a
conversion. You have to relatively flexible in your thinking to work
with the good and away from the bad parts of PostgreSQL for such a
project to succeed. I didn't hear a whole lot of "flexible" in that
discussion.
