Woo hoo! Prepared queries! Where can I get the PostgreSQL 7.3 Binaries for Windows NT/2000/XP? Hopefully, these binaries are native Win32 binaries which do not use the Cygwin1.dll. I'm currently using PostgreSQL 7.2 on Cygwin on Windows XP, but it crashes sometimes because Cygwin runs out of heap space. This is why I'm interested in native Win32 binaries. tia, Daniel -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of PostgreSQL Public Relations Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 10:16 AM To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: [GENERAL] PostgreSQL Global Development Group Announces Version 7.3 For Immediate Release November 28th, 2002 Contacts: Justin Clift justin@postgresql.org +61.3 9363 1313 (Australia) Marc Fournier scrappy@postgresql.org +1.902 542 0713 (Canada) PostgreSQL Global Development Group Announces Version 7.3 The PostgreSQL Global Development Group proudly announces the release of version 7.3 of the PostgreSQL object-relational database management system (ORDBMS). PostgreSQL, the world's most advanced open source database, provides solutions for many of the most demanding applications in use today, saving businesses and governments millions of dollars each year. Here is what some current PostgreSQL users have gone on record to say about this technology: "PostgreSQL has scaled perfectly with our rapidly expanding business, and we recommend it over every other DB." -- TrustCommerce, California "PostgreSQL provided sales.org with a solution that was $70,000 less expensive to create, and over 70% lower in cost to operate and maintain than any of the commercial DBMS offerings we looked at." -- sales.org Inc., Toronto "PostgreSQL handles virtually all the standard SQL constructs. It is easy (relatively speaking) to administer, it is fast, it is efficient, it has a great API, and it supports ODBC, why would you choose something else?" -- Mohawk Software, Massachusetts The worldwide PostgreSQL community is very excited about this release, which includes numerous modifications and enhancements thanks to the contributions of over 500 developers and thousands of volunteer testers from more than 50 countries. "PostgreSQL 7.3 is full of new, oft requested features such as SQL '92 schemas, prepared statements, and stored procedures that can return record sets. And under the hood there is a new dependency tracking system that allows PostgreSQL to *safely* support many more subtle enhancements like the ability to drop columns," said Neil Conway, a member of the PostgreSQL Global Development Team. Among the advances in PostgreSQL version 7.3 are: Schemas PostgreSQL now joins the handful of ORDBMS's to support the SQL 92 Schema specification, improving both enterprise database management and security through the use of namespaces. Table Functions PostgreSQL version 7.3 has greatly simplified returning result sets of rows and columns in database functions. This significantly enhances the useability of stored procedures in PostgreSQL, and will make it even easier to port Oracle applications to PostgreSQL. Security Advances In response to community demands, PostgreSQL has added schema, function, and other permissions and settings to increase the database administrator's granular control over security. Other Enhancements to PostgreSQL Version 7.3 includes: - Enhanced dependency tracking for complex databases. - Prepared queries for maximized performance on common requests. - Expanded logging options - Supports data in many international characters sets (UNICODE, EUC_JP, EUC_CN, EUC_KR, JOHAB, EUC_TW, ISO 8859-1 ECMA-94, KOI8, WIN1256, etc...) - Dozens of performance enhancements to maintain PostgreSQL's leading position in ORDMBSs.
