tablespace support ( which isnt a trivial task ), groups ( pgsql has this
sort of functionality already, but i dont think its to the extent that
Oracle does ), some additional grants ( 'grant connect to' ), 'alter table
<table> add constraint <constraint definition>'...

tablespace support would put pgsql soooo far ahead of most other rdbmses.
