B-trees pre-dated
SQL, which was "kinda" introduced in 4.x, I recall.

See, all that stuff gets kinda muddled in my memory. I didn't pay any
attention to SQL till much later. I kept hoping it was a mistake and
would just go away...

Well, I remember when dBase IV introduced SQL. (I think in version
4.x or something.)

In the release notes, there was a section under "Known Issues"
that went something like this:

- The SQL "select" statement might sometimes only return some of the rows it should.

Hmmm .....

We do have a webpage on one of our servers that has release notes going
back to 6.4. However I think Roy was looking for something a bit older
than that - Btrees definitely weren't new in 6.4.

6.4 onward would be very useful to me. Is the webpage you mention on a
server I can see?


It is now - ftp://ftp.ingres.com/outgoing/relnotes/release.tar.gz
Thanks for that Paul (and whoever assembled it--?Grant). Unfortunately
I am never satisfied. Around about Ingres 2.6/0201 the release notes
stopped including a summary of new features. Presumably there would
have been a Release Summary PDF instead.

Is there any chance of putting up a complete set of those too?

In ten years time a mysterious figure will be waiting in line clutching a
set of RTI labelled ring binders. Ahead of him in the distance is the
Antiques Roadshow expert who has yet to see the treasures that await him..

You mean the beige vinyl binders? With brown lettering? :-) Or the
later white ones?

I've put up what I could find here:

ftp://ftp.ingres.com/outgoing/relnotes/rel_sum.zip

I checked the install media for 2.6/0201, /0207 and /0305 and although there
is documentation in PDF there's no release summary. I did find an old Tech
Doc with a guide to new 2.6 Features, so I included that.

The other PDFs are all from install media too. I'm aware the rs_303.pdf
contains references to 3.0.2 but it is from 3.0.3 (I'll leave you to find
the subtle difference between that and the 3.0.2 version)

I have resisted the temptation to invent a set of ring binders of a
different colour with the text "advanced internals" on the outside. I
wouldn't want to QUEL your enthusiasm.. ;-)
