Exotic Features
===============
* Add pre-parsing phase that converts non-ISO syntax to supported
syntax
This could allow SQL written for other databases to run without
modification.
* Allow plug-in modules to emulate features from other databases
* SQL*Net listener that makes PostgreSQL appear as an Oracle database
to clients
* Allow statements across databases or servers with transaction
semantics
This can be done using dblink and two-phase commit.
* Add the features of packages
o Make private objects accessible only to objects in the same schema
o Allow current_schema.objname to access current schema objects
o Add session variables
o Allow nested schemas
* Consider allowing control of upper/lower case folding of unquoted
identifiers
