PostgreSQL 8.2 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday December 5, 2006 @12:10PM from the faster-so-they-say dept.

An anonymous reader writes to let us know that PostgreSQL 8.2 has been released (bits, release notes). 8.2 is positioned as a performance release. PostgreSQL it is still missing the SQL:2003 Window Functions that are critical in business reporting, so Oracle and DB2 will still win out for OLAP/data warehouse applications.

I've managed to get my PostgreSQL installation tuned to very high speeds simply by switching the database disk over to /dev/null. It runs fast as hell, and the data integrity is basically the same as MyISAM.
