The second beta release of PostgreSQL 9.3 is now available for you.
Following the release of Beta 1, PostgreSQL 9.3 Beta 2, is henceforth available. This new version includes Features and APIs with none major changes before final release. However, it contains
updated and debugged previews of all of the features which will be available in version 9.3.
We also observed that, all bug
fixes prepared for back-branches of PostgreSQL have been applied to Beta 2.
You can get the PostgreSQL 9.3 Beta 2, from a download page and full documentation of the new version is available online.
Important note: Some binary
installers for various platforms, including Solaris and FreeBSD, are already

About PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source
object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active
development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation
for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. It runs on all major
operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X,
Solaris, Tru64), and Windows. It is fully ACID compliant, has full support for
foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple
languages). It includes most SQL:2008 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC,
BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage
of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native
programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, ODBC,
among others, and exceptional documentation.
