Thread: Feature lists for 8.3 and 8.4
Hi, I am migrating from Sybase to Postgres. trying to get a hold on the issue of future releases feature list. 1. Where can I find the feature list for 8.3 ? When is it expected? 2. And for 8.4? 3. Who is the guy to ask about a feature like "startup migrate" in ORACLE? Thanks Danny

There are various places to look for this kind of information, but probably the easiest to digest is looking at the todo lists on the wiki: http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Todo:Contents regards, Lukas PS: Since this is a fairly new effort, if you have any hints on how to improve things, let us know.

You could check out EnterpriseDB, which is based on Postgres and
provides an Oracle compatibility layer. That gives you room to breath
while you migrate to a PostgreSQL native implementation. I've never
used it, but I hear good things.

There is some planning done for each release, though reacting to requirements is also a large part of how things work here. What do you need? In-place upgrades are possible, but only when the on-disk format stays the same. It is set to change for 8.3 -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com
