  * Changes in Emacs 21.4
  
+ ** sql changes.
+ 
+ *** The variable `sql-product' controls the highlightng of different
+ SQL dialects.  This variable can be set globally via Customize, on a
+ buffer-specific basis via local variable settings, or for the current
+ session using the new SQL->Product submenu.  (This menu replaces the
+ SQL->Highlighting submenu.)
+ 
+ The following values are supported:
+ 
+     ansi      ANSI Standard (default)
+     db2               DB2
+     informix    Informix
+     ingres      Ingres
+     interbase Interbase
+     linter    Linter
+     ms                Microsoft
+     mysql     MySQL
+     oracle    Oracle
+     postgres  Postgres
+     solid       Solid
+     sqlite      SQLite
+     sybase      Sybase
+ 
+ The current product name will be shown on the mode line following the
+ SQL mode indicator.
+ 
+ The technique of setting `sql-mode-font-lock-defaults' directly in
+ your .emacs will no longer establish the default highlighting -- Use
+ `sql-product' to accomplish this.
+ 
+ *** The function `sql-add-product-keywords' can be used to add
+ font-lock rules to the product specific rules.  For example, to have
+ all identifiers ending in "_t" under MS SQLServer treated as a type,
+ you would use the following line in your .emacs file:
+ 
+   (sql-add-product-keywords 'ms
+              '("\\<\\w+_t\\>" . font-lock-type-face))
+ 
+ *** Oracle support includes keyword highlighting for Oracle 9i.  Most
+ SQL and PL/SQL keywords are implemented.  SQL*Plus commands are
+ highlighted in `font-lock-doc-face'.
+ 
+ *** Microsoft SQLServer support has been significantly improved.
+ Keyword highlighting for SqlServer 2000 is implemented.
+ sql-interactive-mode defaults to use osql, rather than isql, because
+ osql flushes it's error stream more frequently.  Thus error messages
+ are displayed when they occur rather than when the session is
+ terminated.
+ 
+ If the username and password are not provided to `sql-ms', osql is
+ called with the -E command line argument to use the operating system
+ credentials to authenticate the user.
+ 
+ *** Imenu support has been enhanced to locate tables, views, indexes,
+ packages, procedures, functions, triggers, sequences, rules, and
+ defaults.
+ 
+ *** Added SQL->Start SQLi Session menu entry which calls the
+ appropriate sql-interactive-mode wrapper for the current setting of
+ `sql-product'.
+ 
  ** M-x view-file and commands that use it now avoid interfering
  with special modes such as Tar mode.

  ** New minor mode, Visible mode, toggles invisibility in the current buffer.
  When enabled, it makes all invisible text visible.  When disabled, it
! restores the previous value of `buffer-invisibility-spec'. 
  
  ** New command `kill-whole-line' kills an entire line at once.
  By default, it is bound to C-S-<backspace>.
