These made it into 8.3. There could be more enhancements and more XML support but you're probably looking at the stuff which already made 8.3. > * Elimination of vacuum Nobody's really proposed eliminating vacuum altogether but we're slowly chipping away at it. One of the projects on the table for 8.4 would make it much more efficient, especially for large tables which are partly static. So i would say "faster vacuum with reduced impact" rather than "elimination" > * Auto-tuning / auto-configuration > * Easy update-in-place - 'pgmigrator' > * Auto partitioning / Dynamic partitioning > * External tables interfaces (SQL/MED compliant) > * More exotic datatypes All of these are on the table to one degree or another. But there's no guarantees. > * More SQL99 and SQL2003 features > * More query optimizer improvements These are pretty safe bets. I think Tom's already done some optimizer improvements :) > * Pre-parsing phase that converts non-ISO syntax to supported syntax. I don't know what this refers to but it doesn't sound like the kind of thing Postgres gets involved in. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's RemoteDBA services! -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
