Preference SQL is an extension to regular SQL, that allows expressing preferences in SQL queries. Preferences are like "soft" WHERE clauses.

This seems like a subset of http://pgfoundry.org/projects/qbe/ ... or do I misunderstand?

I skimmed through the QBE howto, and I think it's actually far from it. The thing that closely resembles preference clauses is the SKYLINE OF operator, mentioned eariler in the thread - there is some archives coverage on it.

I'm still working on producing a comparision of preference SQL and the skyline operator, more to follow soon.
