== PostgreSQL Weekly News - April 19th 2004 == If you measured project activity by the commit logs alone, you would think things were really slow this week. While it is true there were only a few changes to code this week, we did receive some exciting news that Fujitsu is working on sponsoring development of several high profile features including tablespaces, JDBC, PL/J, and nested transactions. Hopefully we will see the fruits of this partnership before 7.5 goes out the door. Speaking of 7.5, let's do a quick run through of changes for the week. The parser was modified so that names occurring in GROUP BY clauses are sought first as local FROM columns, then as local SELECT-list aliases, and finally as outer FROM columns; the former behavior made outer FROM columns take precedence over aliases. The COPY command and \copy functionality was enhanced to allow dump and load easier in several popular formats like CSV, QUOTE, and ESCAPE. For more specifics on the new keywords involved, check the developers docs. Last but not least, Tom Lane spent some time reviewing and improving on the new ARC buffer management code for 7.5. On the web front, we had several new mirror sites registered this week, including mirrors in Indonesia, Puerto Rico, and Switzerland. We are also happy to see the launch of a new home for PostgreSQL User's Groups at http://pugs.postgresql.org/. The first of these sites is for the San Fransisco chapter, you can view information about SFPUG at http://pugs.postgresql.org/sfpug/. If you are interested in putting your PostgreSQL User Group on the web, please contact josh@postgresql.org. One last item for those who haven't noticed, there's a new on-line poll question on the main website regarding PostgreSQL support companies, so check it out. == PostgreSQL Product News == EduPhant v2.0b2 available http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-announce/2004-04/msg00003.php GroupLink Delivers CRM Appliance http://www.crn.com/sections/BreakingNews/dailyarchives.asp?ArticleID=49409 Uwerkz Shipping New Database Utility http://www.macobserver.com/article/2004/04/19.13.shtml PEAR DB 1.6.2 released http://www.postgresql.org/news/178.html Mammoth PostgreSQL Replicator 1.2 (7.3.6) released http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/4/emw119171.htm Announcing www.SQL-Scripts.Com http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2004-04/msg00169.php == PostgreSQL In the News == Open source databases gaining ground, analysts say http://software.newsforge.com/software/04/04/14/1347227.shtml?tid=72&tid=74&tid=82 Registration Opens for the 2004 O'Reilly Open Source Convention http://www.ebcvg.com/press.php?id=260 Building a Parrot Compiler http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/04/15/parrot_compiler_construction.html == Upcoming Events == European Regional Open Source Conference: Yerevan, Armenia: June 28-30 Bruce Momjian will be speaking at the Conference http://www.opensourcearmenia.com/osconference OSCon: Portland, OR.
