Here is a small list of big TODO items. I was wondering which ones people were thinking about for 7.2? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Add replication of distributed databases [replication] o automatic fallover o load balancing o master/slave replication o multi-master replication o partition data across servers o sample implementation in contrib/rserv o queries across databases or servers (two-phase commit) * Point-in-time data recovery using backup and write-ahead log * Allow row re-use without vacuum (Vadim) * Add the concept of dataspaces/tablespaces [tablespaces] * Allow better control over user privileges [privileges] * Allow elog() to return error codes, module name, file name, line number, not just messages [elog] * Allow international error message support and add error codes [elog] * Make binary/file in/out interface for TOAST columns * Large object interface improvements * Allow inherited tables to inherit index, UNIQUE constraint, and primary key [inheritance] * Add ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN feature [drop] * Add ALTER TABLE ... DROP CONSTRAINT * Automatically drop constraints/functions when object is dropped -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
