One thing that stood out to me was:

"Auditing

Oracle allows you to enable auditing to a table, or a file via the audit
trail facility.  Once enabled, you can audit insert, update, or delete
on a specific table, for instance, or logins, or even all access by  a
particular user.  There are quite a few options, and it's easy to
enable.

Postgresql too has this functionality and it seems to be as flexible and
configurable as Oracle's.

..."

What functionality is he referring to? There are some projects on
pgfoundry, but I don't think of the auditing capabilities of postgresql
as either complete or easy.
