-
-* Add pre-parsing phase that converts non-ISO syntax to supported

- This could allow SQL written for other databases to run without

-
-* Allow plug-in modules to emulate features from other databases
-* SQL*Net listener that makes PostgreSQL appear as an Oracle database

-* Allow statements across databases or servers with transaction

-
- This can be done using dblink and two-phase commit.

-* Add the features of packages
-
- o Make private objects accessible only to objects in the same schema
- o Allow current_schema.objname to access current schema objects
- o Add session variables
- o Allow nested schemas

-* Consider allowing control of upper/lower case folding of unquoted
