PostgreSQL 12 contains two new server settings: ssl_min_protocol_version ssl_max_protocol_version As the names indicate, these are used to control the oldest (minimum) and newest (maximum) version of the SSL and TLS protocol family that the server will accept.

So apart from bugfixes (which are always special cases), I focused […]

PostgreSQL 12: Foreign Keys and Partitioned Tables

October 14, 2019/4 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Alvaro's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL /by Álvaro Herrera
