Re: What Would You Like To Do?

The lists all seem to be focusing on the things that the developers would
like to add to PostgreSQL, what about some things that users or ISPs might
like to have, and thus perhaps something that companies might actually see
as worth funding?

For example:

A fully integrated ability to query across multiple databases,possibly on
multiple servers, something Oracle has had for nearly two decades.

Complete isolation at the user level, allowing an ISP to support multiple
independent customers on a server without having to fiddle with multiple
back ends each running on a separate port, a feature that MySQL has had for
as far back as I can recall, and one of the reasons ISPs are more likely to
offer MySQL than PostgreSQL.

The ability to restore a table from a backup file to a different table name
in the same database and schema.

A built-in report writer, capable of things like column totals. (SqlPlus
has this, even though it isn't very pretty.)
