EdgeDB has released the sixth and final alpha version of its 1.0 release, focusing on enhancements to its query language, EdgeQL, and its overall functionality as an advanced open-source relational database built on PostgreSQL. The update introduces improvements like coalescing inside UPDATE queries, more powerful constraints, shorthand syntax for EdgeQL functions, and a new syntax for enumerations, which collectively aim to enhance developer productivity and address SQL shortcomings. Additionally, improvements to the CLI include the ability to install EdgeDB directly in a Docker container and self-upgrade, while server-side enhancements include new bootstrap options for initializing databases. These updates are designed to pave the way for EdgeDB to become a highly efficient and productive database technology for developers and data engineers, with future releases promising further refinements and features.
