> Thanks! Please also tell me about what should be improved :-)

Since you're asking :-)

- I still think your feature comparison is very biased (H2 has more
drawbacks than listed) and incomplete (at least Firebird should also
be there). But maybe, that's just because I treat my 11 RDBMS
equally :-)
- Maybe the menu from the cheat sheet is missing?
- Add CSS cursor: pointer to the new (very useful) goTop arrow (when
it is visible)
- The tutorial contains a section: "Special H2 Console Syntax". That's
very useful, but not documented elsewhere
- The tutorial is missing a section: how to use H2 with jOOQ ;-)
- A nice idea about the performance benchmark would be to show the
evolution, like jquery does. That way, users have a higher incentive
to upgrade. Scroll down a bit on this page to see what I mean:
http://blog.jquery.com/2011/05/03/jquery-16-released/

- Speaking of performance, a side-note, how do you profile H2? Did you
know that Yourkit gives free licenses to OSS? Yourkit has become
really awesome. In any case, I'm missing some documentation about how
you guarantee to be and remain the fastest, as you claim. Right now,
this looks like a one-time benchmark. You might have some performance-
regression tests worth publishing?

- What I think might be great is a demo-database, just like phpMyAdmin
has. Since you have both a flexible database that is easy to reset at
night, and a very nice console (compliments on that one, too!), that
might convince even more users to use H2. Also, such a public database
is nice to have when quickly testing some syntax or other feature when
I don't want to use my own DB. I don't know if this will simple to
achieve without concurrent session support, though... maybe by setting
up 20 demo databases?

- I personally think, you should make more use of your google issue
tracker. The changelog is nice, but sometimes it's also interesting to
see some details about a specific change. With a link to an issue, you
could more easily track discussions (also from the user group):
http://www.h2database.com/html/changelog.html

- A voting feature on the roadmap might be interesting. The Apache
projects have that already integrated in JIRA (e.g. Derby). If you
used the issue tracker a bit more, then users could "star" the issues
that they'd like to have addressed with high priority

Hmm... maybe I can think of more, later. But really, with your search
function, I personally find this the best website among your
competitors, apart maybe from Postgres, which also has a very well-
done documentation.

You're the DIY-guy :-) Do your site-building tools have the same
license as the rest of H2? I wouldn't have a problem to give credits
to the H2 site-building tools, should I actually use them for my own
page. Just to get it right...
