[KLUG Members] News: PostgreSQL 7.2 released

[Adam Williams]

PostgreSQL 7.2 released,  and I couldn't resist commenting on some the
features/changes -

VACUUM - Vacuuming no longer locks tables, thus allowing normal user
access during the vacuum.

PostgreSQL now suitable for 24.7 environments,  not just 23.999/7
environments!

TRANSACTIONS - There is no longer a problem with installations that
exceed four billion transaction

Whew!  I was always SOOOO worried about that one.

Gee, I can remember when finding an Open Source database that could
process nested queries was impossible (PostrgeSQL was the first).  I
guess those days are long gone.  Shedding a single nostalgic tear.... oh
right, there are still people using MySQL.....
