I'm using PostGIS (and I'm very happy with it).

Not currently, although I do need to set up a demo site soon.  And I

In the 2.6 demo, you just click on the "Census -cities" catalog entry 
and you can use the Layer Tools to create/edit/delete features in that 
layer (thanks to the new ' activate="true" ' Layer tag in the mapbook )
