OK, so this database backend is a start in the right direction, but it’s not exactly using the full benefits of SQL’s transactional model. I want to capture the headliner benefit of this release for the user in a single, memorable, line. The way I see it, the most immediate benefit is that the user can query the SQL with their own tools, be it Crystal Reports, JasperReports, or other custom tools. Can anyone put this more succinctly?
