Speaking from a commercial perspective. I have had, in the last 60 days over a dozen inquiries of how PostgreSQL 8.0 on WINDOWS compares to MSSQL. The specific questionI believe you are correct for Oracle at least.
But for people porting over from MSSQL it is a *huge* deal, and given the native windows port of Postgres with 8.0.0, I predict *many* requests for this in upcoming months.
topics have been:
1. Reliability 2. Performance 3. High Availability 4. Features
Anything that we can do, within reason to help the migration from MSSQL to PostgreSQL "is a good thing" (tm).
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
