Advanced partition matching for partition-wise join

August 28, 2020/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Ashustosh's Planet PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL 13 /by Ashutosh Bapat

Earlier I had written a blog about partition-wise join in PostgreSQL. In that blog, I had talked about an advanced partition matching technique which will allow partition-wise join to be used in more cases. In this blog we will discuss this technique in detail. To recap, the basic partition matching technique allows a join between two […]

PostgreSQL 13: Don’t let slots kill your primary

July 30, 2020/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Alvaro's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL 13 /by Álvaro Herrera

One of the interesting new features in PostgreSQL for some time now is the ability to control removal of WAL files using replication slots. The dark side is that replication slots can cause disks to fill up with old WAL, killing the main production server. In this article I explain PostgreSQL replication slots, and how a new feature in PostgreSQL 13 helps prevent this problem.

Unicode normalization in PostgreSQL 13

July 23, 2020/3 Comments/in Eisentraut's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL /by Peter Eisentraut

Unicode equivalence Unicode is a complicated beast. One of its numerous peculiar features is that different sequences of codepoints can be equal. This is not the case in legacy encodings. In LATIN1, for instance, the only thing that is equal to ‘a’ is ‘a’ and the only thing that is equal to ‘ä’ is ‘ä’. […]

Barman 2.11: barman-cloud-restore and barman-cloud-wal-restore

July 21, 2020/2 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Anna's PlanetPostgreSQL, Barman, DevOps, PostgreSQL /by Anna Bellandi

Thanks to the new utilities barman-cloud-restore and barman-cloud-wal-restore introduced in Barman 2.11, it is now possible to execute the recovery of a PostgreSQL instance using a full backup previously executed using barman-cloud-wal-archive and barman-cloud-backup commands. Let’s discover together how to implement this in the following article.
