Yes, partially :)

But then the upgrade path from Postgres to the Advanced Server is a very good argument for choosing Postgres (and a major advantage over other so-called OpenSource RDBMS), so that's why I chose to post to pgsql-general - and because I know you guys are reading this :)

That's what I thought as well.

It's a bit confusing that the documentation link on the right hand side _seems_ to relate to the current product (which it doesn't) and then includes the compatibility guide.

Maybe you should have column on http://www.enterprisedb.com/learning/documentation.do indicating for package the document is relevant.

Fine :)

Thanks for the quick answer and clarification.
