Lance,
> Microsoft is going to release SQL Server 2005 on November 7 http://www.microsoft.com/events/2005launchevents/default.mspx. They will consume all of the database oxygen during that week. If gaining press ink is a goal (from people like Lisa V of eweek), you'll have to go next week or wait until the week of November 14. The weekly trade pubs just won't be able to give us anything opposite Microsoft.
I wouldn't see this as prohibitive. In fact, we might be able to right
MS's coattails into the mainstream press: "In the same month, MySQL
released version 5.0 and the PostgreSQL project released version 8.1 ...."
I think our code readiness is much more likely to dictate the release date.
