Are there features on other RDBMS's that it would be good for Oracle to have?

Hi all,


I'm interested in finding out whether posters to this list wish there
were features in Oracle that
are available on other systems?

I saw a posting by Jonathan Lewis
(http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/sql-server/)
who says there are some MS SQL Server features that he'd like to see.
I asked what they
were but he never replied to my  post.

For example, Oracle has made a big hooha over getting virtual columns.
A db that I have regularly
used (Interbase/Firebird) has had them for decades and there's no
doubt but that they're handy.
I still think the Firebird syntax is better - Field Blah IS COMPUTED
BY (expression)

Anything similar on other systems that you use that you think would be
of benefit for Oracle?

Any ideas, references, URLS, &c. welcome.


Paul...
