The subject of transactional DDL and its prevalence was discussed in a
May thread, "why postgresql over other RDBMS"
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-05/msg01151.php).

It was pointed out that Ingres, Firebird, InterBase and NonStop SQL
also supported transactional DDL, as did a couple of legacy database
systems now sold by Oracle -- no other products support transactional
DDL.

(You keep asking the list about novel features that supposedly make
PostgreSQL unique or superior. Still haven't found a thesis topic?)
