I have posted the latest version of the feature study to this newsgroup under the title "RDBMS server feature matrix" Please do not send me email requests for the file, as I am being innundated at this time and am trying to start a new job (and enjoy my last unemployed weekend.)
I am trying to find someone to take over the analysis with the goal of including the most current products and topics. If this happens, you'll hear about it here. If nothing else, I suggest you use my matrix as a guide, and ask the vendors to fill it out for you with their current product features. Add whatever new features you really care about, and let them go at it.
Regards,
- Dan
