Hi Marc,
Could you post the location of the beta documentation? I seem to have
lost the link :-(
Is there info on the new role system and in/out params in the beta docs?
Thanks,
Tony
PostgreSQL 8.1 will bring in alot of fairly large features, including:
- Improve concurrent access to the shared buffer cache
- Add in-memory bitmaps which allows multiple indexes to be
merged in
a single query
- Add two-phase commit
- Create a new role system that replaces users and groups
- Move /contrib/pgautovacuum into the main server
- Add shared row level locks using SELECT ... FOR SHARE
- many many others listed in the HISTORY file

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
