Since we last mentioned 7.3 at the end of the last paragraph,
a reminder of which version might sound better:

"Significant advances in PostgreSQL version 7.4 include:"

Should be "bringing a" to sync with the previous paragraphs.

Reads better as "providing users with real time..."

Should be "implementation of a SQL99..."

Could have sworn I reported this one last time. Should be
"define and customize". The whole paragraph is also a little
awkward, IMO.


> A complete list of changes in PostgreSQL version 7.3

Should be 7.4.

Perhaps just "solid"?

Expand on this license or link to an explanatory page for people
who may not know the advantages of this.



> How "overhauled" is the documentation?

I believe that this is mostly the layout, not the content.
