Rajesh is a Technical Consultant with the Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres Center of Excellence team and holds an OSS-DB Silver certification in PostgreSQL. He brings over 12 years of experience in various relational database management systems (RDBMS) such as PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server, as well as NoSQL technologies like MongoDB. In his role, he provides consulting and support to Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres customers, helping them leverage features effectively.
The latest PostgreSQL 15 release brings significant improvements to logical replication, which fortifies CREATE/ ALTER PUBLICATION capabilities, and benefits by enhancing security, improving ease of use, and reducing network traffic.
In this post, I would like to highlight the OSS enhancements to pg_basebackup inherited by Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres 15 that enrich the native backup utility and how the new --target and --compress options can be leveraged for database administration and operations.
