PostgreSQL and the Platinum Guarantee

2ndQuadrant experts have recently fixed a bug in PostgreSQL, outstanding since the 9.3 release, that causes Free Space Map (FSM) corruption, resulting in INSERT/UPDATE queries to fail on the affected table. More details here. The fix will be included in maintenance releases for PostgreSQL due in next quarter, but has already been released to 2ndQuadrant customers.

This is great news, and some seriously impressive sleuthing from 2ndQuadrant. Thank you for your persistence, it makes us realize our support fee is going to a good place. – Phil Scott from Cantab Capital

Scott is one of the people who suffered from this bug and has spent much time trying to find and resolve the problem himself.

Think about this…

If you’re using PostgreSQL, but not a customer of 2ndQuadrant – what happens when you have a bug? Or worse – when your system fails?

Your cloud vendor or local partner will probably tell you to recover your system from a backup. In doing this, you’ll be relying on 2ndQuadrant technology, since the company pioneered Point In Time Recovery back in 2004. In the years since, we have subsequently released the most popular backup technology: Barman (Backup and Disaster Recovery Manager), which is one of the many tools developed and offered by 2ndQuadrant and released Open Source.

Not using PostgreSQL yet? Your data is worth more than you think, and we can prove it.

2ndQuadrant’s premier support for open source PostgreSQL is a success story in the provision of sustainable open source technology, supporting customers across industries and across continents.
