I am not going "berserk" at all, quite contrary. I am remaining polite, 
even in the face of posts like yours. It is not me who is refusing the 
debate. I do have a voice in the Oracle community and I will continue to 
warn people considering Postgres as a possible alternative to Oracle what 
are they up against, should they decide to try going down that road. 
There are many deficiencies of PostgreSQL and I'll gladly point them out 
to any Oraclite who is considering PgSQL as a possible replacement. The 
phrase about Postgres being an open source Oracle is a misleading lie.

If you want to try debating the possible reasons for not providing hints 
to Postgres users, I'll gladly debate it with you. Frankly, I don't think 
it makes much sense, the spirit of Postgres community is far from 
instilling confidence. Maybe that's why PGEast was such a flop? By the 
way, what do you think, why is Postgres so far behind in popularity 
behind MySQL? I just want to be the voice of reason, even at the risk of 
sounding like a broken record. 

Lastly, this forum is not moderated and the only way I can be dealt with 
is the force of arguments. From what I've seen so far, there is no danger 
of that ever happening. I would even suggest that rude posts like 
Laurenz's or yours, in which you accuse a complete stranger of "sounding 
like a broken record" or "going berserk", are more akin to trolling than 
polite and rational posts of the kind I am attempting to promote here.

I don't intend to get into a shouting match with either of you, but if 
somebody asks about conversion from Oracle, you can count on me being 
here. Again, the only way to make me go away is the force of arguments.
