Aberdeen has a review of open source rdbms. The overall review was
quite positive but mentioned a few things missing.
Features desired according to users:
Gui control centre
Improved Replication
Two-phase commit
They list what they think is missing from postgresql compared with
Oracle/db2/MSSQL
PostgreSQL does not offer the following key features typically
provided in enterprise databases(according to Aberdeen):
Incremental and parallel backup/restore
Encryption (security)
Deadlock detection
Row-level locking (typically required by large packaged
applications)
although PostgreSQL does offer alternative sub-table locking schemes
Bit-mapped indexing (for large data warehouses)
A single GUI administrative interface
View update/insert/delete
I was pretty sure that NETAPP offers incremental backup of Postgresql
- but perhaps I'm wrong.
What about the row level locking or the other features. Are they
issues for anyone?
