Andrew, I disagree, I wouldn't want to contend with all the complexities and kludge of Oracle thank you very much. If there was a way to get PostgreSQL to do better than the current clustering methods, then why not, it would be a big win for us. PostgreSQL *is* an enterprise class DB after all, and we should be improving upon it to do so and remain so. Cheers, Aly.
