Let's not forget that we've already got CTE, window functions, partial vacuums, and column-level permissions, all of which are major features that should benefit a lot of people. I hope Hot Standby gets committed but even if it doesn't, I'm still going to get a lot of benefit out of this release, so I'd like it to happen on some sort of reasonable time scale. ...Robert
