PostgreSQL has released a new version, with a host of updates and improvement to the world’s most advanced open-source database. In this blog post, I want to take you through the key new features implemented in PostgreSQL 17.
I am constantly impressed by the talent and commitment of the Fujitsu engineers that work hard to make PostgreSQL the best database in the market. So, I thought that more people should know these passionate professionals, and what a day in their life is like.
Earlier this year, I was in Canada for PGConf 2023, where I talked about the evolution of PostgreSQL from a Berkeley research project to its current status as the most advanced open-source database, and discussed the various changes introduced for PostgreSQL 16, particularly regarding logical replication.
PostgreSQL 15 builds upon the enhancements of earlier versions and takes them to the next level, with several improvements to logical replication, increased sorting performance, and the introduction of the MERGE command. I would like to talk about these features as well as what is under discussion for PostgreSQL 16.
I would like to talk about the key features in PostgreSQL 14, and what is being discussed in the community for PostgreSQL 15 and beyond.
In my previous post, I discussed the new features in PostgreSQL 13 and what's in the pipeline for PostgreSQL 14. Today I would like to set my sights further, and discuss longer-term development.
PostgreSQL has recently released version 13, with new features and enhancements. Let me share my views on this release, and what is to come next.
Fujitsu is excited to welcome PostgreSQL Committer and Major Contributor Amit Kapila, now leading our PostgreSQL team as Senior Director at Fujitsu Limited since August 2020.
