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 For a full listing of the features in version 9.2 Beta, please see the release notes: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/release-9-2.html 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 soon as you can, and give feedback to the PostgreSQL developers.

This is the port for all stuff that comes in the contrib subtree of
|
|
the postgresql distribution. This subtree contains porting tools,
|
|
analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core
|
|
PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or
|
|
are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does
|
|
not preclude their usefulness.
|
|
|
|
Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the
|
|
module. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators,
|
|
or types. After you have installed the files you need to register the
|
|
new entities in the database system by running the commands in the
|
|
supplied .sql file. For example,
|
|
|
|
$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql
|
|
|
|
The .sql files are installed into /usr/local/share/postgresql/contrib
|
|
|
|
For more information, please see
|
|
/usr/local/share/doc/postgresql/contrib/README*
|
|
|
|
This software is part of the standard PostgreSQL distribution.
