Setting SSL/TLS protocol versions with PostgreSQL 12

November 27, 2019/2 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Eisentraut's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL /by Peter Eisentraut

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. (For historical reasons, in PostgreSQL, all settings related to SSL and TLS are named ssl_something, even though TLS […]

PostgreSQL 12: Implementing K-Nearest Neighbor Space Partitioned Generalized Search Tree Indexes

November 5, 2019/3 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Kirk’s PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL /by Kirk Roybal

K-nearest neighbor answers the question of “What is the closest match?”. PostgreSQL 12 can answer this question, and use indexes while doing it.

PostgreSQL 12: Foreign Keys and Partitioned Tables

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

Now that PostgreSQL 12 is out, we consider foreign keys to be fully compatible with partitioned tables. You can have a partitioned table on either side of a foreign key constraint, and everything will work correctly. Why do I point this out? Two reasons: first, when partitioned tables were first introduced in PostgreSQL 10, they […]

Replication configuration changes in PostgreSQL 12

October 7, 2019/0 Comments/in Ian's PlanetPostgreSQL, repmgr /by Ian Barwick

Historically, PostgreSQL’s replication configuration has been managed via a configuration parameters stored in a dedicated configuration file, recovery.conf, which has been present in PostgreSQL since the introduction of archive recovery in PostgreSQL 8.0. One of the major changes in PostgreSQL 12, co-authored by 2ndQuadrant is the replacement of recovery.conf and the conversion of recovery.conf parameters […]

PostgreSQL 12: A Few Special-Case Performance Enhancements

September 24, 2019/2 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, John’s PlanetPostgreSQL /by John Naylor

With every new release of PostgreSQL, there are a range of performance enhancements. Some are system-wide and affect every user, but most are highly specific to a certain use case. In this post, I am going to briefly highlight three improvements in PG12 that speed up certain operations. 1. Minimal decompression of TOAST values TOAST […]

PostgreSQL 12: Partitioning is now faster

September 17, 2019/4 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, David's PlanetPostgreSQL /by David Rowley

Table partitioning has been evolving since the feature was added to PostgreSQL in version 10. Version 11 saw some vast improvements, as I mentioned in a previous blog post. During the PostgreSQL 12 development cycle, there was a big focus on scaling partitioning to make it not only perform better, but perform better with a […]

PG Phriday: Postgres 12 Revs up Vacuum

September 6, 2019/0 Comments/in Shaun's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Shaun Thomas

Any long-time user of Postgres is likely familiar with VACUUM, the process that ensures old data tuples are identified and reused to prevent unchecked database bloat. This critical element of maintenance has slowly, but surely, undergone incremental enhancements with each subsequent release. Postgres 12 is no different in this regard. In fact, there are two […]

Partitioning enhancements in PostgreSQL 12

July 15, 2019/1 Comment/in 2ndQuadrant, Kirk’s PlanetPostgreSQL /by Kirk Roybal

Declarative partitioning got some attention in the PostgreSQL 12 release, with some very handy features. There has been some pretty dramatic improvement in partition selection (especially when selecting from a few partitions out of a large set), referential integrity improvements, and introspection. In this article, we’re going to tackle the referential integrity improvement first. This […]
