PostgreSQL 8.1 Available

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the query-bucket dept.

atani writes "PostgreSQL 8.1 has been posted, though not officially announced as of this moment. This release includes two-phased commits, improved SMP and overall performance, a new role system replaces the older user/group, autovacuum is now within the backend rather than a separate contrib module, and various improvements, performance enhancements, and bugfixes. " You can also read the developer notes for the popular database. One thing is clear- with the newest Postresql and MySql, you have much to choose from.

    I store all of my data in relational arrays. Written on napkins. In my sock drawer (sockd!).

    This is how we have run hotmail for the last 7 years. *ducks*

      Now, when the 1st comment is modded redundant, this is funny !

    You're going to get instantly modded down for asking about a Windows installer without mentioning how you use Linux at home/work/other.

    However, I predict that the person who provides a link will be modded up as insightful

    Slashdot mods are fickle

    Worst attempt to stifle a fledgling Slashdot flamewar EVER.
