PostgreSQL 9.2, which will include major increases in performance and
both vertical and horizontal scalability. The PostgreSQL Project asks
all users to download and begin testing 9.2 Beta as soon as possible.
Major performance and scalability advances in this version include:
* Index-only scans, allowing users to avoid inefficient scans of base
tables
* Enhanced read-only workload scaling to 64 cores and over 300,000
queries per second
* Improvements to data write speeds, including group commit
* Reductions in CPU power consumption
* Cascading replication, supporting geographically distributed standby
databases
PostgreSQL 9.2 will also offer many new features for application
developers, including:
* JSON data support, enabling hybrid document-relational databases
* Range types, supporting new types of calendar, time-series and
* analytic applications
* Multiple improvements to ALTER and other statements, easing runtime
* database updates

We depend on our community to help test the next version in order to
guarantee that it is high-performance and bug-free. Please install
PostgreSQL 9.2 Beta and try it with your workloads and applications as
