The PostgreSQL 9.1 open source database is now generally available, offering users a long list of new features. The new PostgreSQL release follows a six month beta process, following the initial beta release in May.
PostrgreSQL 9.1 is noteworthy for a number of features, among them are some that no other database yet implements.
“The really exciting thing about the 9.1 release is the level of innovation,” PostgreSQL core team member Josh Berkus told InternetNews.com. “Through the last 12 years of PostgreSQL, I’m used to a lot of our release being feature catch-up with the leading proprietary databases – and there is very little in this release of that.”
