PostgreSQL, the popular open source relational database, is getting support for MERGE statements, a move which is intended to make migration from SQL Server and Oracle-based systems easier.
With the release candidate for PostgreSQL 15 published on Friday and general availability expected on 13 October, the upgrade promises a slew of new features for developers.
