- OnLine and SE are released simultaneously (they are considered part of the
- Servers and Connectivity group of products, which includes network, i.e.
- I-Net and I-Star, and embedded language products), so there is no "lag".
- There are features that have been and will be added to OnLine that are
- not part of SE, but these will never be part of SE (BLOBs, for example).
- In general, any SQL level feature will be in both servers, though there
- are exceptions.
