PostgreSQL 8.2 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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.

    Tough call for the mods on this one. Imo, this is +3 Insightful wrapped in a somewhat -1 Flamebait with a touch of -3/4 Troll on the side.

    What did the AC win, Johnny?

    This is why I hate the Slashdot moderation system. I get mod points maybe once a month, when I'm too busy to read /. and my "average posts per day" drops to within the norm. So I drop an "interesting" on a genuinely interesting (and relevant) post from an AC, and not a minute later, some douchebag wanders by and drops an "offtopic" on it, obviously without even reading it. Meanwhile another (make that two) mod just came by and gave it another "interesting" because it is! Feh.

    Yo! Douchebag! Blow another point modding this offtopic!

    Posted AC because I've modded other posts on this article also.

    What's faster, a Ferrari or a semi-trailer truck? ... there is no single thing that is "speed"

    What if you're transporting a few million dollars worth of amphetamines?
