Dear friends,

The reason I posted this:

For the last 6 months I have noticed the enormous numbers of github's
raising on the Internet.
For the last 10 years I have worked with Oracle(yes expensive)and
Postgresql(from version 8.4!) and I am familiar conserning the _big_
difference between the to database environments. Good and not so good.
Administration well Oracle is easier because of
the instance/backup/restore(point in time) crontrolled by itselr.
Postgresql does not have that kind of stuff - I mean backup/restore(pointin
time
controlled by _itself_. But it is free and free of charge. But is not 24/7
when upgrading.
Therefore:
To make administration easier for your customers I suggest to establish a
github with different possibilites, showing how to upgrade minor/major
in 24/7 enviroments especially the restore(point in time) as a "build in"
method liek Oracle'srman. I have been told by a consultant that
pgBackRest is recommended. But it is not buildin in the way Oracle's rman.
Sorry if i got out of the scope of my mail. And sorry for my demands.:)
BTW: why are PG databases visible by all users (prompt: \l)

Thanks
Poul
