Re: wishlist items ..

Aloha,

I just wanted to bring up the wishlist todo items:
http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Todo:WishlistFor83

All items have a name behind them aside from "Better handling of
partitioning". Does anyone feel responsible for handling that one?

Anyways I would appreciate it if people who's name is behind each of the
items to either mail this list or me directly to let me know if they are
still handling this item for 8.3 or not. I will then make sure to update
the list accordingly. The applies if an item is missing.

For convenience here is the current state:

The following items are on the table for 8.3:

* On disk bitmap index (Gavin)
* WITH RECURSIVE hierarchical queries (Gregory Stark)
* Better handling of partitioning
* SQL:2003 windowing queries (Gavin)
* Improvements to autovac (Alvaro Herrera)
* SQL/XML support per SQL:2003 (Peter)
* Notification payload messages (Andrew Dunstan)
* Fix permissions properly on custom GUC vars (Andrew Dunstan)
* Create a mechanism for plperl to load modules safely (Andrew Dunstan)
* Plan invalidation (Tom, Heikki)
* Tsearch2 in core (Teodor Sigaev, Oleg Bartunov)
* Grouped Index Tuples (Heikki)
* Hot Updates (Pavan)
* Reuse of index tuples (Simon Riggs)
* ENUM (Tom Dunstan)
* GENERATED/IDENTITY patches (Zoltan Boszormenyi)
* Updatable VIEWs (Bernd)

Postponed

The following features are unlikely to make it into 8.3 at this point:

* SQL/PSM support per SQL:2003 (Pavel)
* Clustered/replication solutions

Completed

* Operator family rewrite (Tom)

regards,
Lukas

I have gotten feedback from most items on the list and I have updated
the list accordingly. Maybe a few of the items can even be moved to
"Completed" already.

Obviously all items under "Perhabs" could use some helping hands. Also
note that I have placed "Plan invalidation" under "Perhabs" since Heikki
said he is giving his other items priority and I have not gotten
feedback from Tom.

Also note that Alvaro could use some help for "autovac" even though he
is still quite hopeful to make it on time.

Finally Pavel is looking for feedback and testing for the SQL/PSM support.

The 4 items I have not gotten feedback on are as follows:
* WITH RECURSIVE hierarchical queries (Gregory Stark)
* Better handling of partitioning
* Hot Updates (Pavan)
* Reuse of index tuples (Simon Riggs)

I have emailed Gregory, Pavan and Simon only 2 days ago, so I am not
suprised to not haven gotten feedback yet.

Overall it looks quite well!

regards,
Lukas

PS: Let me know if you feel I could improve this "service" in any way.

I find this very helpful. My head is full of patches and I rarely get
to look at things from this angle.

there was some discussion early on in 8.3 scoping to add some out of the
box solutions for clustering and replication in order to reduce the
"barrier to entry" for people who require such features.

I believe this has been started as a "replication hooks" project,
although I'm unsure of its current status.
