Sorry, can't give references. May be couple of days later.

Set operations: union, minus, intersect: v5

Read-only consistency: v6. There was a white paper, I don't think it's possible to find it now. There was also an article, probably in Byte magazine in 1989(?).

Cost-based optimizer: v7. White paper might be still available on Metalink, but I'm not sure. Need to check. Received on Tue Nov 19 2002 - 23:30:50 CST
