The only thing I can comment on is updatable views. You can make
updatable views using RULEs. The only thing is that they're not
*automatically* updateable.

In theory, if someone came up will a program that from given <view
definition> produced the appropriate INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE rules,
it might be incorporated. Currently you just have to do it manually...

Case-insensetive text comparisons can be acheived using the citext
module on gborg.
