30 September 2016 | PostgreSQL 9.6 is Released: Contribution of Postgres Professional

PostgreSQL 9.6 was released yesterday. This is a great release which provides to users set of outstanding new features. We are especially happy that Postgres Professional did substantial contribution to this release.

Connection pooling

Working with large number of simultaneous connections almost inevitably leads to usage of connection pools. Unfortunately, present pooling solutions are very limited in access to all PostgreSQL features.

Page-level data compression

PGLZ compression of individual values is used now in PostgreSQL. That’s good, but sometimes it’s possible to achieve significant compression only when compressing multiple values together. This is why we’re considering page-level data compression.

Better temporary tables

Temporary tables are often being used. Their performance could be increased if they are removed from system catalog. Also it is attractive to allow using temporary tables on read-only standbys.
