Good to see credit being given where it is due. Perhaps some of the more frequent posters here might not be so grouchy and tend to RTFM answers so often if thanks were like this were more frequently proferred.

The actual commands tend to stay the same,. though they might be extended. It is the wholesale renaming of product offerings , presumably inspired by marketing that gets my goat. The Oracle full text search product for example doesn't seem to last with the same name for more than about a year. Having said that for my word processing I have used word 2,4,6,95,97,200,XP. Admittedly MS keep the word name but the sequential versioning leaves something to be desired. I guess there is no substitute for reading the readme with each product and never assuming that marketing haven't got at something. I still don't like it though because then when something fundamental is introduced it is easy to assume it a a product rebadge OPS and Real Application Clusters springs to mind.
