Yes, maybe there will be built in automatic fail over in a few years so you don't have to hack it together using a bunch of scripts.

Of course there's overlap in functionality and most companies should probably chose PG over Oracle. But PG is a joke in some areas like the above mentioned.

Yeahh I guess not. Let me know when I don't have to hack it together with a bunch of scripts and the PG team takes availability seriously.
