Kickstarter for Improved PostgreSQL support in Django

kickstarter.com

> The choice of PostgreSQL comes down to a combination of personal preference and the existence of a wider range of missing features than any other database Django supports.

Like Oracle DB? ;) Though, to be fair, I haven't heard of many Oracle backed Django instances.

I think that this is a good way to go about broadening a particular DB's support: implement in contrib, and make the general ORM capable of utilizing such contributions when available, while retaining regular DB support.

I'd like this!

Is it not possible for this to be a 3rd party module instead of part of django.contrib?

There's already a lot of Postgres-specific 3rd party modules. This kickstarter is exactly about integrating some of those into contrib.
