PostgreSQL 9.0 beta 2 is Out – Very Cool Stuff

This morning I read this on Slashdot about the new features coming in PostgreSQL 9.0. I have to say, it's really quite impressive. I remember when I was researching an open source database for the work I was starting to do at First Chicago, and still think I made the right decision all these years later. It's just an amazing database.

The features it has, and the comparisons it's making - to say it's more like Oracle and beats SQL Server 2003/2008 is pretty darn impressive. I have to say that I'm glad The Shop is using it as an alternative to either of these - it's just a nice tool to work with.

I'll have to wait and see when KyngChaos gets the build up for Mac OS X that I've taken to using. It's a good package he's putting together.
