I don't know about you, but I market PostgreSQL partially using 1. sane design, not driven by random demands 2. extensibility which would be completely contradicted by moving any module into core for "marketing" reasons. > Not > all are Tom Lane, who could convince customer saying there is no > difference between contrib module and core feature, or that > PostgreSQL is a mature database with fts add-on, which could be > installed separately (with supersuser rights). It's not like PostgreSQL is the first software product in the world to provide a module or plugin mechanism. (It is incidentally the first DBMS to do so.) People who refuse to understand that are idiots, and we don't design for idiots. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
