And not always forwards. Oracle sent Donald Smith (director of project management with some coding […]

A schedule for that will be announced soon. Or rather a correct schedule; there’s one out there already that says it happened already.

Have any/all of these made it in to the Spec? Will Oracle release a formal language spec for 7 so that there can be “other” implementations too?

It is nice to see them making an effort rather than abandoning it into neglect. We’ll see what happens.
