PostgreSQL 8.3 has been released today. Along with the usual amount of
improvements there are some new features in 8.3 that should be of
interest to PostgreSQL admins and developers such as:
- Integrated TSearch
- ENUM and UUID data types
- Faster sorting technique used for LIMIT operations
- Faster LIKE and ILIKE operations
- Lazy XID assignment which will make many read only operations much faster
- Asynchronous commits
Check out the full list of
features at
the PostgreSQL site or download it from the download
section of their site. As
usuel, you can also find many things in the very nice
documentation,
one of the best I’ve ever seen.
