Upcoming features

Copied from [1] WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply to the near future (with a set date), at least (notable) movies. [It's a question if next future releases of PostgreSQL is notable..] I guess planned features can be cancelled (at any time?). In case they are in beta I would say including is ok. As the upcoming release (as all are) is open source it is released in some sense (and could be used, but not recommended for production, while testing is ok and recommended). Really all committed code is release (but not notable). Where should we draw the line (believe will end up in next release), beta, release candidate, alpha?.

Initial release of 8 July

I believe this is wrong even though the team celebrated its 12 year birthday that day. Initial release was in 1997. The article itself says this "The first PostgreSQL release formed version 6.0 on January 29, 1997". 213.131.36.174 (talk) 17:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Standards compliance

The standards compliance section says 'PostgreSQL conforms to at least 170 of the 177 mandatory features for SQL:2023 Core conformance", and no other databases fully conformed to it'. However, Mimer SQL seems to support all core features, see https://download.mimer.com/pub/developer/standard/Core-SQL-Feature-Summary.pdf. Or do I misunderstand this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nowthenlater (talk • contribs) 19:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
