PostgreSQL 8.2 beta released

The PostgreSQL project released the first beta for PostgreSQL 8.2 for widespread testing on Monday. According to PostgreSQL core team member Josh Berkus, the 8.2 beta includes a number of new features, better support for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SQL:2003 standard, and numerous performance improvements.

Berkus says that PostgreSQL 8.2 will improve performance "around 20% overall" for high-end online transaction processing (OLTP) systems, and include "even larger gains in data warehousing efficiency."

The changes in this release include "faster in-memory and on-disk sorting, better multi-processor scaling, better planning of partitioned data queries, faster bulk loads, and vastly accelerated outer joins."
