These features are currently supported:

Cluster awareness
Triggers
Transaction semantics able to pass the ACID test for TPC-C
Auto-generating unique id fields at load
Large number support
Hash Joins
Query Re-write
Sophisticated sub-query support
Ability to monitor database resources (locks, buffering, tasks, catalog
data, connections) for resource contention -- support for this exists to
some extent, but better monitoring tools would probably be welcome
Display of execution plans -- non-graphical, although RH have
implemented a tool called "Visual Explain" that displays a graphical
representation of a PostgreSQL query plan
User defined functions
ODBC support

In PostgreSQL 7.4 (which is currently under development), we hope to
have support for point-in-time recovery.

pgs...@po... is probably the right list.
