Hello again,

The MaxDB Library has been given a general overhaul. It can be read online and downloaded at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/index.html.
In addition to the updates necessary due to changed software functions, several improvements were made:

* The new manual 'Glossary' explains important MaxDB terms and points you to the relevant information in other parts of the documentation. Therefore, it is a good entry point for quickly locating the topics you are interested in.
(See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/7e/c3fb0e72fcf84580f7ee9fcec672b7/frameset.htm) 

* Refer to the manual 'Concepts of the Database System' for in-depth background information on the database system.
(See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/79/44b2565cfb594286e2d1b3bdf7d1d9/frameset.htm)

* For beginners, we have written the new 'SQL Tutorial'. Based on a easily installable DEMO database you can step by step fill your database instance with data using SQL statements.
(See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/98/11b83fa6b33c17e10000000a114084/frameset.htm)

* The new SQLCLI database tool for executing SQL queries on the command line is described in the SQLCLI Manual.
(See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/98/11b83fa6b33c17e10000000a114084/frameset.htm)

* The following documentation has been considerably improved:
   --> Database Manager CLI
   --> Database Manager GUI
   --> Development Environment
   

* Note: The documentation for the new MaxDB PHP software extension is available separately and can be downloaded in pdf format at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/interfaces.html.
