Future plans

Hi,

what do we have planned for the next release? In the TODO file there are
quite a lot of points but I don't like to talk about things we will
eventually do, but would like to present what we will implement for 7.3
resp. 8.0. 

IMO the most important stuff seems to be:

- replication (which is listed as urgent anyway)
- alter table drop column (for which I get asked about once a week)
- recursive views (you know, I wanted to implement this when I started my work on PostgreSQL, but never found the
time)

A good start would be to make the parser recognize the full sql99 syntax
for it. Its quite big - see attached gif I generated from grammar
extracted from the standard:

Well, the parser seems to be the easier part. :-)

Sure.

My point was that we should put in the _full_ syntax in one shot and
then we could implement in smaller pieces.
