That is disappointing. We really do need this feature for our application. I
heard that Oracle, MS SQL Server etc support this. What can we do to
implement this in Postgresql also? Where should we look for? and what skill
set is needed to extend Postgresql capabilities?

Sorry for asking such basic question in the list. We are a small company and
would like to contribute, but require a little hand-holding in the beginning

Best regards,

Siva
