- Finnucane 9y agoYeah, I could quibble about how the XML support in Postgres is not really equal to an XML database--it's still limited to xpath/xslt 1.0, and no xquery--but the fact that is has any at all is still handy and useful. I mean, I guess it would be too much to ask for it to do _everything_.
