The MonetDB team at CWI/MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Aug2011 feature release of the MonetDB suite of programs. The default width for OID columns in the database is now 64 bits for all 64-bit architecture. In releases up to this release, the default width on 64-bit Windows was still 32 bits. This means that with the current release it is possible to have tables with more than about 2 million rows even on Windows (as long as you use a 64-bit build). More information (including release notes) on this release is available at http://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes. As usual, the download location is http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/. -- Sjoerd Mullender
