PostgreSQL 8.3 is just around the Corner
8.3 upcoming Highlights
8.3 has numerous highlights just as previous versions, but we shall focus on our favorite ones.
- Support Security Service Provider Interface (SSPI) for authentication on Windows - which presumably will allow PostgreSQL databases to enjoy the same single signon you get with Microsoft SQL Server 7-2005.
- GSSAPI with Kerberos authentication as a new and improved authentication scheme for single signon
- Numerous performance improvements - too many to itemize
- The new QUERY functionality in plpgsql which offers a simpler way of returning result sets
- Scrollable cursors in PLPgSQL
- Improved shared buffers on windows
- TSearch - Full Text Search is now integrated into PostgreSQL instead of being a contrib module
- Support for SQL/XML and new XML datatype
- ENUM datatype
- New add-on feature to PgAdmin III - a PL debugger most compliments of EnterpriseDB
