A great database has just gotten better. PostgreSQL 9.3 has been released today. While improved reliability and availability is certainly quite a thrilling addition, from the jOOQ perspective, the most interesting features are new SQL syntax elements. These include:
- Better support for JSON
- LATERAL JOIN (or as SQL:1999 calls it: lateral derived table)
- Materialised views
- Updatable views
See all the improvements for yourself:
