I’m a simple man.
While Oracle people are ecstatic about ASSERTION in the just released version 23.26.1 of the Oracle Database, I’m happy to see something as simple as FILTER :)
FILTER was the first feature I covered on modern-sql.com, only supported by PostgreSQL at the time. In the meanwhile, half the system I cover support FILTER. Frankly speaking, I cannot understand why there are still systems not support such a simple, easy to understand and useful feature.
