PostgreSQL 9.0 arrives with many new features

Version 9.0 of the PostgreSQL database management system was released on September 20, with considerably more "buzz" than a PostgreSQL release has had in a while. The PostgreSQL Project does a major release every year, but this one is special. It has more than a dozen major features and nearly 200 minor improvements, so the release has more new goodies in it for database geeks than any release before it, hence the "9.0" version number.
