Can we not just have a simple feature comparison chart in which we
include various databases?

            PostgreSQL    MySQL    SQL Server    Oracle
Stored Procs?    Yes        No    Yes        Yes
Pl/sql or equiv    Yes        No    Yes        Yes
Pl/TCL        Yes        No    No        No
Pl/Python        Yes        No    No        No

And so on? Obviously we should include version numbers in the column
headers...
