Thread: another small article
There is also a small paragraph mentioning postgresql 8beta in a german magazine called "linux-magazin". This is printed in their actual magazine. the homepage is http://www.linux-magazin.de/ And they focused on tablespaces,nested transactions and better java integration -> I think they mean PL/Java Regards Ewald Geschwinde

At least if you are referring to the paragraph found at http://www.linux-magazin.de/Artikel/ausgabe/2004/09/zut/zut.html where the Fujitsu sponsoring is mentioned. Fujitsu is not a PL/Java sponsor. I think they sponsor the PostgreSQL JDBC driver and perhaps also the PL/J project. Regards, Thomas Hallgren

Fujitsu is sponsoring some PostgreSQL features that appear in 8.0. 2. Fujitsu is sponsoring some sort of Java extension. That does not mean, of course, that a Java extension will appear in 8.0 or that, if some Java extension were to appear around the time of 8.0, it would be the one sponsored by Fujitsu. I can see how it can be confusing. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

When we started planning the FJ story, FJ was talking to Dave Cramer about sponsoring some sort of major improvements to PL/J and JDBC. However, that has been postponed and will not be concurrent with 8.0, and I did not get my correction to the reporter in time. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Uh, Fujitsu is funding Dave to improve jdbc standards compliance, and a little support for PL/J. Dave is not done with the jdbc standards improvements they would like. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

Yes, but this won't be concurrent with 8.0 last I checked with Dave (early July), which was my point. The article implies that it will be. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

The article implies that it will be. Right, not concurrent. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
