They don't increase functionality for whom? When someone is comparing
PostgreSQL to Oracle, as an example, for consideration in a project, I
would think that speed would be one thing that they would consider key
'functionality' in that comparison ... no?
I'll never use a Win32 port ... so Tom's work on optimizing queries is
more important to me then a Win32 port is ... 'functionality' is
completely in 'the eye of the beholder' ...
