What about postgreSQL's inability to re-order columns? Please don't point out that I shouldn't rely on things being in a certain order when I SELECT * FROM table. I'm well aware of that, I just generally have an aesthetic preference for a table's columns being in a certain order.
Somewhat related, it would be nice if columns had a unique identifier in the catalog rather than just a sequence number for the table. This would make it possible to distinguish between altering a column versus dropping/adding when comparing schemas or detecting DDL changes.
