reasons to criticize Oracle's DB offering that extends past 'limit/offset syntactic sugar', and there are a lot of quirks Sure. But the point I was making is that if you really do need Oracle's higher-end features, there aren't many or sometimes any substitutes. How long have the PG crew been trying to get AS OF working? But Flashback's been in Oracle for years and if you need it, you need it. And if you don't, then Postgres is a pretty safe choice. But Oracle is very far from "basically trash" because some guy doesn't like some bit of syntax!
