Hi everyone,
Nadia Cameron, a journalist with IDG, is looking to do a brief story on
PostgreSQL and has a couple of questions for us.
So, being newly motivated to set up the collaborative area for the
Advocacy site, it's now ready for general usage
(http://advocacy.postgresql.org/documents/)
Nadia's questions (from below) have been added into a page in the new
collaborative area, so people can make notes/comments/etc directly, and
we should be able to get the results to her by about this time tomorrow
if it's as effective as I'm hoping...

:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

Hi Justin,
Just trying to put together a brief story on the release of PostgreSQL
version 7.3, but had a couple of questions I'd like to put forth to you
(bear with me, I'm not very techie!)
- What is the 92 scheme specification, and why has support for it been
included in the latest version of postgreSQL?
- In the release, Neil Conway comments that the new version contains a
dependency tracking systems "that allows PostgreSQK to 'safely' support
many more subtle enhancements like the ability to drop columns". I'm
unclear on the use of "safely" here - would you be able to elaborate on
this comment further?
- What are the conditions of using PostgreSQL?
- How long did it take to develop the latest 7.3 release?
- When do you expect to release the next version of the system?
thanks
