GridSQL 2.0 Released

GridSQL 2.0 is immediately available for download from sourceforge.net at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gridsql/files

From the release notes:

This software requires the Java Runtime Environment 5,
version 1.5.0_12 or later. Earlier versions of the JRE may
result in memory leaks that over time result in an OutOfMemory
exception.

GridSQL has also been successfully tested with Java 6 update 18,
and is recommended.

If GridSQL was not installed via an installer that included a
JRE, please go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
to download a Java Runtime Environment

After installing, please make sure that your PATH environment
variable refers to the JRE's bin directory.

This version includes enhancements, performance improvements
and minor bug fixes, including

- Faster, more efficient row shipping which makes cross-node queries and multi-node aggregation execute more quickly
- Faster dumping of data via COPY
- EXPLAIN command is now supported which shows how GridSQL processes queries
- Improved thread connection handling
- Better compatibility with PostgreSQL connectors
- Added support for multiple statements in one request
- Expression based indexes may now be created
- Expanded support for usage of inet, macaddr, and cidr data types
