PostgreSQL advocates: Version 9.1 beta is coming out in slightly more than one week (currently scheduled for May 3). We'd really like to get peopleexcited about it and about trying and testing it. This version is full of new major features. As such, I'd like asmany of our community as possible to blog about the beta next week, as well as warming up your press contacts. (1) PostgreSQL is still releasing a new major verison *every* year, as we have for the past 7 years. (2) This new version contains more new major features than any of the 3 versions before it. Compare this to other DBMSes,who are mostly doing stability releases. (3) This version contains several features which PostgreSQL is the very first DBMS to have, open source or proprietary. We want to remind people that it's not just "noSQL" databases which can be innovative and improve rapidly. Not only do wehave the stability, we have the innovation too. The theme for this release is "Features, Innovation, Extensibility". Some notes on the major features are below. However, if you want to write about other features you're exited about whicharen't on the list below, you're very welcome to. Features Synchronous Replication allow you to create synchronous standby databases to prevent data loss includes "transaction-controlled synchronous commit", a PostgreSQL innovation Per-column collations allows true multilingual databases, where each column can be a separate language Unlogged Tables permits high-speed writes for ephemeral data like session tables Innovation K-Nearest-Neighbor Indexing permits doing an indexed search of "what's near me". expected to power a whole new generation of spatial applications Microsoft is working on this, but we're releasing before them. Serializable Snapshot Isolation Supports true serializability among complex concurrent business transactions, preventing race conditions and deadlocks. Writeable Common Table Expressions allows executing recursive updates and other data changes in one SQL statement which previously would have taken a whole script more powerful than CTEs implemented by other DBMSes SE-Postgres PostgreSQL is the only database which offers full integration with SELinux secure data frameworks. Military-grade security for your database. Extensibility Extensions & PGXN You've been able to create plugins for PostgreSQL for a decade. Now you can manage them easily, and utilize an online network of extensions SQL/MED Attach other data sources to PostgreSQL and use them like tables: files, other databases, the process table, streams. Use postgreSQL as the integrator for all of the data in your network -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com San Francisco
