Interesting. Well I can tell you that Command Prompt routinely
pursues companies to help push features back into the source.
The ECPG changes we submitted and some upcoming ODBC features
are an example of this.

However what we have found is that most people running PostgreSQL
don't need table partitioning. We only have 3 customers that
would benefit from it.

Of course, now that I think about it I haven't talked to them
about the feature --- time to make some phone calls!

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
