I was just about to make that comment. Particularly when it comes to matviews.
However, we highlighted the json datatype pretty well in 9.2 and it
gave us a lot of good press. But it doesn't really *do* anything in
9.2 - kind of like matviews. 9.3 will make json a lot more useful - as
hopefully 9.4 can improve on the matviews. But if it's marketing only,
then the feature is there I guess...
