Re: 7.4 Wishlist

What I'd like to have in future versions of PostgreSQL:
   - replication, replication, ... (you have seen that before). i guess 
most people would like to see that.
   - a dblink like system for connecting to remote database systems 
(not just PostgreSQL???)       something like CREATE REMOTE VIEW would be damn good.       it would solve many problem
whenit comes to migration
 
   - tablespaces (the directory based stuff which has been discussed on 
the list)      
   - somebody has mentioned XML before. the XPath stuff would be really 
cool
   - PL/Sh should be in contrib. i know that the core team has decided 
not to put it in the core but contrib would be fine (I keep forgetting 
the URL of Peters website :( ...)
   - packages: is there a way to define a set of functions as a package 
so that they can be removed using just one DROP PACKAGE or so? would be 
nice for huge projects
   - urgent: being able to use PL/Perl in combination with SPI (There 
is a Pg-SPI but it is 0.01 - see  
http://search.cpan.org/author/APILOS/DBD-PgSPI-0.01/PgSPI.pm). a full 
and reliable implementation would be fine.
   - preforking for faster startup
   - declare MySQL as evil *g*.

       Thanks a lot :)
