[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] PostgreSQL 7.4 released (Stable branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '7.4' of
'PostgreSQL' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information
can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/pgsql/

The changes in this release are as follows:
GROUP BY processing has been improved by using hash buckets. There is
a new multikey hash join capability. Queries using the explicit JOIN
syntax are now better optimized. There is faster and more powerful
regular expression code, full support for IPv6 connections and IPv6
address data types, and major improvements in SSL performance and
reliability. The free space map efficiently reuses empty index pages.
There is an SQL-standard information schema, a new client-to-server
protocol, a new version of full-text indexing, and a new autovacuum
tool. libpq and ECPG applications are now fully thread-safe.  

Project description:
PostgreSQL is a robust, next-generation, Object-Relational DBMS
(ORDBMS), derived from the Berkeley Postgres database management
system. While PostgreSQL retains the powerful object-relational data
model, rich data types and easy extensibility of Postgres, it
replaces the PostQuel query language with an extended subset of SQL.
