The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

PostgreSQL 19 Beta 3 is a pre-release development build of the PostgreSQL open-source, standards-compliant relational database management system, intended for community and developer testing of features slated for the upcoming major version ahead of general availability. PostgreSQL is built around ACID-compliant transactions, multi-version concurrency control, and broad extensibility through custom data types, functions, and procedural languages, and beta builds exist to surface defects and gather feedback before a stable version is finalized.
