David Wheeler: Building Trunk

This week, my fellow Tembonaut Ian Stanton will present the extension ecosystem mini-summit talk, “Building Trunk: A Postgres Extension Registry and CLI”.

Pierre Ducroquet: Look ma, I wrote a new JIT compiler for PostgreSQL

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 18. März 2024 - 12:30

Sometimes, I don’t know why I do things. It’s one of these times. A few months ago, Python 3.13 got its JIT engine, built with a new JIT compiler construction methodology (copy-patch, cf. research paper). After reading the paper, I was sold and I just had to try it with PostgreSQL. And what a fun ride it’s been so far. This blog post will not cover everything, and I prefer other communication methods, but I would like to introduce pg-copyjit, the latest and shiniest way to destroy and segfault speed up your PostgreSQL server.

Hubert 'depesz' Lubaczewski: What the hell is transaction wraparound?

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 18. März 2024 - 11:59
Recently someone asked on Slack about what is transaction wraparound. Full answer is a bit too much for slack reply, but I can try to explain it in here. So, every row in PostgreSQL containst two hidden columns: xmin, and xmax. You can see them: =$ CREATE TABLE wrapit (a int4); CREATE TABLE   =$ … Continue reading "What the hell is transaction wraparound?"

Adrien Nayrat: Back from pgDay Paris 2024.

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 18. März 2024 - 10:39

I’m back from pgDay Paris. I really enjoyed this edition. I’d already come to the 2019 one, and I must say I wasn’t deceived. As a reminder, pgDay Paris is an international conference. Presentations are in English, attracting more English speakers and audiences.

Jonathan Katz: Distributed queries for pgvector

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 18. März 2024 - 1:00

The past few releases of pgvector have emphasized features that help to vertically scale, particularly around index build parallelism. Scaling vertically is convenient for many reasons, especially because it’s simpler to continue managing data that’s located within a single instance.

First of all here are the presentation slides:

Bertrand Drouvot: Postgres 17 highlight: Logical replication slots synchronization

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 16. März 2024 - 6:26
Introduction

PostgreSQL 17 will normally (as there is always a risk of seeing something reverted in the beta phase) include this commit: Add a new slot sync worker to synchronize logical slots.

Sai Srirampur: Enterprise-grade Replication from Postgres to Azure Event Hubs

At PeerDB, we are building a fast and a cost-effective way to replicate data from Postgres to Data Warehouses and Queues. Today we are releasing our Azure Event Hubs connector. With this, you get a fast, simple, and reliable way for Change Data Captu...

David Wheeler: Mini Summit One

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 15. März 2024 - 21:05

Great turnout and discussion for the first in a series of community talks and discussions on the postgres extension ecosystem leading up to the Extension Ecosystem Summit at pgconf.dev on May 28. Thank you!

The talk, “State of the Extension Ecosystem”, was followed by 15 minutes or so of super interesting discussion. Here are the relevant links:

Shaun M. Thomas: PG Phriday: Redefining Postgres High Availability

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 15. März 2024 - 2:27
What is High Availability to Postgres? I’ve staked my career on the answer to that question since I first presented an HA stack to Postgres Open in 2012, and I still don’t feel like there’s an acceptable answer. No matter how the HA techniques have advanced since then, there’s always been a nagging suspicion in my mind that something is missing. But I’m here to say that a bit of research has uncovered an approach that many different Postgres cloud vendors appear to be converging upon.

Luca Ferrari: PgTraining Online Event 2024 (italian)

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 15. März 2024 - 1:00

We are back with another event!

PgTraining Online Event 2024 (italian)

PgTraining, the amazing italian professionals that spread the word about PostgreSQL and that I joined in the last years, is organizing another online event (webinar) on next 19th April 2024.
Following the success of the previous edition(s), we decided to provide another afternoon full of PostgreSQL talks, in the hope to improve the adoption of this great database.

Luca Ferrari: pgagroal command refactoring (again!) and a new contributor!

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 15. März 2024 - 1:00

Changes in pgagroal-cli and pgagroal-admin.

pgagroal command refactoring (again!) and a new contributor!

Last year I introduced a way in pgagroal-cli and pgagroal-admin to arrange commands in a more consistent and manageable way, deprecating some commands too.

Today, a new contributor to the project, Henrique de Carvalho, committed a patch that greatly improves the way commands are handled internally.

Amit Kapila: A day in the life of a PostgreSQL engineer at Fujitsu – Introducing the blog series

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 14. März 2024 - 1:56

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.

Elizabeth Garrett Christensen: Postgres Performance Boost: HOT Updates and Fill Factor

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 13. März 2024 - 14:00

There’s a pretty HOT performance trick in Postgres that doesn’t get a ton of attention. There’s a way for Postgres to only update the heap (the table), avoiding having to update all the indexes. That’s called a HOT update, HOT stands for heap only tuple.

Daniel Vérité: Using binary-sorted indexes

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 13. März 2024 - 11:49
In a previous post, I mentioned that Postgres databases often have text indexes sorted linguistically rather than bytewise, which is why they need to be reindexed on libc or ICU upgrades. In this post, let’s discuss how to use bytewise sorts, and what are the upsides and downsides of doing so.

Hans-Juergen Schoenig: Enforcing join orders in PostgreSQL

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 12. März 2024 - 16:20

After the pgconfeu23 in Prague – which has been an excellent event – I decided to share some of the things I presented as a blog post to maybe shed some light on some of those topics. One of those ideas presented was the way PostgreSQL handles joins and especially join orders. Internally the PostgreSQL does a good job to optimize queries but how does it really work?

Francesco Tisiot: How to use pgbench to test PostgreSQL® performance

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 12. März 2024 - 16:00

Testing a database performance is a must in every company. Despite everyone's needs beings slightly different, a good starting point for PostgreSQL® database is using pgbench: a tool shipped with the PostgreSQL installation that allows you to stress test a local or remote database.
This blog post showcases how to install (on a Mac) and use pgbench to create load on a remote PostgreSQL database on Aiven.

Robert Bernier: Managing Time Series Data Using TimeScaleDB-Powered PostgreSQL

Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet - 12. März 2024 - 15:05
PostgreSQL extensions are great! Simply by adding an extension, one transforms what is an otherwise vanilla general-purpose database management system into one capable of processing data requirements in a highly optimized fashion. Some extensions, like pg_repack, simplify and enhance existing features already, while other extensions, such as PostGIS and pgvector, add completely new capabilities.I’d like […]
