new postgres

Posted by william on Sun Nov 8 16:01:21 1998

Postgres 6.4 is out, and finally supports SERIAL (autoincrement)
without making you jump through hoops. Also has a PL
(procedural language) which would let one push a lot of
logic onto the backend and therefore probably make it
more efficient, though the problem with this is that they
are not at all standard so you lose portability :(.
