They also have a text mining engine which lets you dump almost any filetype in the database and do sophisticated full text queries, including generating html snippets with highlighted matches. And they have a native column type for storing geometry, so you can do geometric queries and aggregates, for which they then also have a web viewer engine with tiled maps support, so you basically have the core of a GIS engine. There's a ton of cool stuff in there, I haven't even looked at half of it.

Oh man how did I forget the geo stuff! I used that extensively! The custom indexes that could do lat/lon proximity joins! And yeah the text mining stuff is great as well. (Ugh, I've forgotten so much already -- such a shame.)
