Can we not just have a simple feature comparison chart in which we
include various databases?
PostgreSQL MySQL SQL Server Oracle
Stored Procs? Yes No Yes Yes
Pl/sql or equiv Yes No Yes Yes
Pl/TCL Yes No No No
Pl/Python Yes No No No
And so on? Obviously we should include version numbers in the column
headers...
