Kx announces kdb+ 2.6 with nanosecond timestamps

Kx Systems has released version 2.6 of kdb+ with nanosecond timestamps as a datatype. Says Simon Garland:

Although a nanosecond timestamp goes beyond the needs of most people at the moment, we have decided to do this now, to give our clients a significant amount of flexibility. This is similar to our leading the market to 64-bits years ago, at a time when this was not seen as essential – now it has become the market standard.
