The reason those features are in PostgresSQL is because they are in SQLserver, ... because they are in Oracle, ... because they are in DB2.
Based on that logic C should have had a report generator and the unix filesystem should have records - and your car would have a saddle and whip holder.
- aaronblohowiak 17y agoOnly those cheap imports don't have whip holders. Otherwise, your contention in-domain feature copying somehow translates to cross-domain feature transfer is something that I fail to understand. Can you explain it better?
- edrtghuj 17y agoPostgress has certain features because it is competing, both technically and in marketing check-boxes, with other SQL databases. CouchDB is not an SQL DB (and not even an RDMS) and so doesn't automatically have to have the same rich set of features.
- james2vegas 17y agoNo, it has those features because it aims to be SQL standard compliant, as do those other RDBMSes. Where is the Standard for these 'Document-oriented' DBs?
