Yes, I love it. It is very useful for inventory management and for
customer and vendor balances in accounting systems.

I really liked your paper. Actually, that is where I learned about
most of the new features. It was very clear and straight to the point.
Specially where you talk about CTEs. That really made me understand
how CTEs work, and not forgetting the difference between "update or
insert" and "merge".

Thanks!
