release of PostgreSQL 9.4, the latest version of the world's leading open source database, is available today. This beta contains previews of all of the features which will be available in version 9.4, and is ready for testing by the worldwide PostgreSQL community. Please download, test, and report what you find. Major Features -------------- The new major features available for testing in this beta include: * JSONB: 9.4 includes the new JSONB "binary JSON" type. This new storage format for document data is higher-performance, and comes with indexing, functions and operators for manipulating JSON data. * Replication: The new Data Change Streaming API allows decoding and transformation of the replication stream. This lays the foundation for new replication tools that support high-speed and more flexible replication and scale-out solutions. * Materialized Views with "Refresh Concurrently", which permit fast-response background summary reports for complex data. * ALTER SYSTEM SET, which enables modifications to postgresql.conf from the SQL command line and from remote clients, easing administration tasks.

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.
