Things I'd particularly like to have that aren't entirely on the map yet:
- In place upgrade
- Stored procedures that can manage transactions (e.g. - contrast with
present stored functions that forcibly live *inside* a transaction
context; the point isn't functions vs procedures, but rather to have
something that can do txn management)
I'd expect that txn-managing procedures could then enable various
sorts of usages involving other interesting bits:
- Managing 2PC
- Managing NOTIFY/LISTEN
- Managing jobs (e.g. - "pgcron")
- Using dblink()/SQL-MED to manage cross-DB work
I'd expect these all to be the sorts of side-effects enabled by the
one change...
