XML data type
* Enumerated data types (ENUM)
* Arrays of composite types
* Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) data type
* Add control over whether NULLs sort first or last
* Updatable cursors
* Server configuration parameters can now be set on a per-function
basis
* User-defined types can now have type modifiers
* Automatically re-plan cached queries when table definitions change
or statistics are updated
* Numerous improvements in logging and statistics collection
* Support Security Service Provider Interface (SSPI) for
authentication on Windows
* Support multiple concurrent autovacuum processes, and other
autovacuum improvements
* Allow the whole PostgreSQL distribution to be compiled with
Microsoft Visual C++

PL/Perl allows you to write functions in the Perl programming language
|
|
that may be used in SQL queries as if they were built into Postgres.

The PL/Perl intepreter is a full Perl interpreter. However, certain
|
|
operations have been disabled in order to maintain the security of the

system.
