Bruce,
Item "Remove restriction that ORDER BY field must be in SELECT list", in the
TODO list, has been completed.

Stephan or Anyone,
What is the status of the HAVING clause? I noticed that it almost made the
6.3.2 cut, but I haven't heard any thing for a while. I would really like to
see this feature implemented. It is important to my user community.

Everyone especially Vadim,
I agree with Marc. Row locking is huge. In my user community, it is
unacceptable to wait for up to 30 minutes (or even one minute) for a report to
finish so that a users can commit an invoice or commit a change to a customer
attribute. I can deal with it for now because my databases are batch loaded
for reporting purposes only. However, I plan to go forward with some pretty
important projects that assume that record/page locking will exist within the
next 12 month or so. Am I being too presumptuous?
