That is an important comment. I really like Postgres, as it is the only free RGDB allowing complex SQL (MySQL is improving), and is also reliable, but some people need to realize that the F22/Cessna comparison is not exagerated.

I professionally use both Postgres and Oracle, for many years, and can confirm that Oracle is so much more advanced.

In addition to the features you listed, I can think of : real-time query monitoring, active session history, inline function definition in SQL, global partitioned indexes, in-memory column store, much more advanced parallel execution capabilities, adaptive plans during query execution, bloom-filters, optimizer baselines, SQL macros, Exadata for tuning at the hardware level, Golden Gate for replication, Enterprise manager for monitoring...and a lot more actually.

And of course : Optimizer hints
