A preliminary version, including the 6.5 blurb, can be found at: http://www.postgresql.org/mainx.html What do you think?

I think Marc and I agree the old navigation-bar frame scheme should be revised.I'd like it to have explanatory onMouseOvers, but this isn't there yet - I'm still trying out several things.

Looks nice. Might rephrase:
Those of you who did not like our table-level locking will be pleasantly surprised.
to be something like
Those of you wanting alternatives to our table-level locking will be pleasantly surprised.
The new CASE statement might be of interest, and I'm looking forward to
getting far enough along on outer joins to get a mention of that too :)

You can say: An SQL-standard CASE statement is planned too. Thomas, do you need help on outer joins? -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

I don't like the new wording. It sounds like we are adding an optional functionality, while we are replacing table-level locking because MVCC is much better. We can say: Those of you need better locking than our current table-level locking will be pleasantly surprised. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026
