PostgreSQL 13: Don’t let slots kill your primary
/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Alvaro's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL 13 /by Álvaro HerreraOne of the interesting new features in PostgreSQL for some time now is the ability to control removal of WAL files using replication slots.

It was based on relation inheritance and used a novel technique to exclude tables from being scanned by a query, called “constraint exclusion”. While it was a huge step forward at the time, it is nowadays seen as cumbersome […]
Upgrading to PostgreSQL 11 with Logical Replication
/7 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Eisentraut's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL /by Peter EisentrautIt’s time. About a year ago, we published PostgreSQL 10 with support for native logical replication. One of the uses of logical replication is to allow low- or no-downtime upgrading between PostgreSQL major versions. Until now, PostgreSQL 10 was the only PostgreSQL release with native logical replication, so there weren’t many opportunities for upgrading in […]
