De tweede bètaversie van PostgreSQL 15 is verschenen. Dit populaire opensource relational database management system draait op een groot aantal besturingssystemen en is daardoor uitstekend inzetbaar in diverse omgevingen. Het is een afgeleide van Ingres, nadat de hoofdontwikkelaar daarvan voor zichzelf is begonnen en deze database van open source tot closed source werd. De bijbehorende aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit: PostgreSQL 15 Beta 2 Released! The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announces that the second beta release of PostgreSQL 15 is now available for download. This release contains previews of all features that will be available when PostgreSQL 15 is made generally available, though some details of the release can change during the beta period. You can find information about all of the PostgreSQL 15 features and changes in the release notes. In the spirit of the open source PostgreSQL community, we strongly encourage you to test the new features of PostgreSQL 15 on your systems to help us eliminate bugs or other issues that may exist. While we do not advise you to run PostgreSQL 15 Beta 2 in production environments, we encourage you to find ways to run your typical application workloads against this beta release. Your testing and feedback will help the community ensure that PostgreSQL 15 upholds our standards of delivering a stable, reliable release of the world’s most advanced open source relational database. Please read more about our beta testing process and how you can contribute.
