Man, I really wish IT article authors would try and understand what they're writing about. First, he says PG will add a debugger for, specifically, Oracle PL/SQL. Then, in the bulleted list, it says specifically PL/pgSQL; not the same thing. -- Jonah H.

Yea, it seems the cleaned-up version is still not fully cleaned up. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

By "not fully cleaned up," do you mean "contains major factual and conceptual errors in each paragraph?"

Hmmm. Usually Charlie does much better than this. BTW, the features came from a phone call with me, and I directed Charlie to some online lists. I've a feeling what happened is that for some reason he waited several days between asking me to explain the features and running the article (certainly it was over a week until publication) and lost track of what they were actually about. Overall, I really don't see any issue for the community with the article; people will assume that inaccuracies are Charlie's. What the article substantially says is that we're going into beta soon, which is good news to have out there. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco
