As you likely know, since it was announced last week, one of the big new features in this release is an integrated database engine that allows AIR applications to create and use local SQL databases. I'm really excited about this, both because it's really awesome to be able to access a database directly from ActionScript, and (on a personal level) because it means I can finally talk about what I've been working on for the last couple of months. Yes, in fact, my latest assignment at Adobe primarily involves working on the AIR local SQL database functionality.]]></description>
