Subject: [Pljava-dev] PL/Java 1.5.3 announced
Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2019 00:23:02 -0400
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

PL/Java brings functions, triggers, and types in Java.
1.5.3 adds support for PostgreSQL 12, and can now be built with
Java versions later than 8.

Project site: http://tada.github.io/pljava/
Release notes: http://tada.github.io/pljava/releasenotes.html

## Selected changes

*   Rework of threading/synchronization management to eliminate Java object
    finalizers (long deprecated informally, and formally since Java 9).
    Fixes occasional hangs that could be seen when running on an OpenJ9 JVM.

*   Improvements to the java.sql.SQLXML type.

*   Includes an example that provides substantially complete implementations
    of the ISO SQL/XML functions XMLEXISTS, XMLQUERY, XMLTABLE, and XMLCAST
    (using the XQuery language as ISO SQL specifies, rather than XPath as
    used by the versions in core PostgreSQL), and the LIKE_REGEX,
    OCCURRENCES_REGEX, POSITION_REGEX, SUBSTRING_REGEX, and TRANSLATE_REGEX
    functions that apply XQuery regular expressions. As ordinary extension
    functions without special treatment in the SQL parser, these have to be
    called using slightly different syntax than ISO SQL provides. The
    optionally-built example relies on the Saxon XQuery library.

Please see the release notes for a more complete list of changes.
