iamvego writes: Later than the typical release cadence, PostgreSQL 9.5 has finally been released, and brings with it a slew of new features including UPSERT functionality, row-level security, and some big data features (CUBE/ROLLUP, join pushdown for foreign data wrappers, TABLESAMPLE, BRIN indexing and more). The previous release had brought about some new JSON functions and operators, but they only queried the data; 9.5 comes with new operators which now allow modification of JSON values, so it no longer has to be manipulated outside of the database. PostgreSQL's wiki has a more detailed overview of the new features.

PostgreSQL is impressive. by Futurepower(R) · 2016-01-07 05:56 · Score: 0, Troll

PostgreSQL is impressive, especially now that software companies are becoming more and more abusive.

Adobe software becomes inoperative if you don't let it contact Adobe every time you start a program.

Microsoft's Software is Malware: Microsoft Windows has a universal back door through which any change whatsoever can be imposed on the users.
