Pg also has a great user defined type system, support
for arrays (and the newest version can do arrays with
nulls and composite arrays).  Also the latest DBD
supports asynchronous queries.  The changes between
versions are a little difficult, for example the
problem with inserting bytea types doesn't seem to
exist in the latest version, which means I guess I
need to cut a couple of virtual machines with Pg
versions to test against, but I need som time for
that.  Maybe I can get back to it when Chinese New
Years is over.  I'm not sure what the demand for some
of the more unique features of Pg would be.  I tried
mapping out a way to support arrays, but wondered if I
was the only one who'd use it :)

I'll join the list, there are a couple of things with
the various timedate types I'd like to clear up.   I
could probably handle that.
