to something simple like oracle's dblink, which comes pre-installed, is
simple to set-up, and has a much more straight-forward syntax for use in day
to day query work.
We are working on these matters and hopefully get some of them solved in 8.4 :)
Configure and use part is NO more complex than Oracle and has several use cases for which neither of dblinks is suitable.
Or are you claiming that calling functions is not straight forward and seamless in PostgreSQL.
But yes getting plProxy into the database might be the hurdle for many potential users.
