+Following the trend towards NoSQL database management, the core team

+Following the trend towards NoSQL database management, the core team
+has announced its intention to replace SQL with QUEL in 9.1, which
+will be called PostgreQUEL.  QUEL beat Erlang as a replacement
+language, mostly because PostgreIBelieveIDidBob was too hard to spell.

+Bruce Momjian commented, "Obviously allowing the storage of
+unstructured data is more flexible because both structured and
+unstructured data can be stored in the same system.  After all, a
+relational table with 30 columns is really just 30 key/value pairs,"
+while David Fetter, taking his usual exquisitely diplomatic tone,
+said, "The relational model is outmoded and overhyped."
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After personally tracking down every copyright holder for PostgreQUEL,
+Larry Ellison announced his buy-out of the entire PostgreQUEL Global
+Development Group.  "It wasn't easy prying the copyrights out of all
+those widows' and orphans' hands, but it was worth it," he said in a
+statement from his new home, a refrigerator box atop a steam grate in
+San Francisco.
+</p>
+
+<h2>PostgreQUEL 9.1 Feature of the Week</h2>
+<p>
+Distributed map-reduce functions in Erlang.
+</p>
+
+<h2>PostgreSQL Tip of the Week</h2>
+<p>
+You don't really need to bother with all those tables and relations.
+Just create a single 3-column table: ID, attribute, value.
