Yes, but these features are not missing from PostgreSQL,
which is what shipped with the RaQ3, and still does with
the RaQ4 from what I hear.  In fact, there are only two
features obviously lacking in PostgreSQL, sub-selects
which should be available in a not too distant future
and replication, which is not available in any opensourced
database as yet.
