Nikolay Samokhvalov: Useful queries to analyze PostgreSQL lock trees (a.k.a. lock queues)
David Z: Backup Label in PostgreSQL
When I was working on some backup and recovery related features for a project based on Postgres, I noticed that there is file called backup_label. By quickly google search, you can find some very nice blogs or books which discussed this topic, such as, The Internals of PostgreSQL, one of my favourite books. In this blog, I am going to talk it a little more based on my experience.
Ryan Lambert: Using Query ID in Postgres 14
Postgres 14 was released on September 30, 2021. With a new major version comes new features to explore! This post takes a look at the unique query id option enabled with compute_query_id in postgresql.conf. This particular backend improvement, included with Postgres 14, is one I am excited about because it makes investigating and monitoring query related performance easier.
Jonathan Katz: Multi-Cluster Postgres Federation on Kubernetes with Postgres 14 Using GitOps
One of the reasons why I like deploying Postgres on Kubernetes with PGO, the open source Postgres Operator, is that it makes it easier to set up distributed database systems.

Paul Brebner: Kafka Connect and Elasticsearch vs. PostgreSQL Pipelines: Initial Performance Results (Pipeline Series Part 8)
In Part 6 and Part 7 of the pipeline series we took a different path in the pipe/tunnel and explored PostgreSQL and Apache Superset, mainly from a functional perspective—how can you get JSON data into PostgreSQL from
In this article, I will answer the questions: why isn’t there a SHOW TABLES command in PostgreSQL, when will SHOW TABLES in PostgreSQL be available, and how do I list tables with native PostgreSQL methods?
People who come from MySQL are always asking the same question: why doesn’t the command SHOW TABLES work in PostgreSQL ?

Jobin Augustine: Why Linux HugePages are Super Important for Database Servers: A Case with PostgreSQL
Often users come to us with incidents of database crashes due to OOM Killer. The Out Of Memory killer terminates PostgreSQL processes and remains the top reason for most of the PostgreSQL database crashes reported to us. There could be multiple reasons why a host machine could run out of memory, and the most common problems are:

Regina Obe: Multirange types in PostgreSQL 14
One of the features we are most excited about in recently released PostgreSQL 14 is the introduction of Multirange types. In a nutshell Multirange types are sets of non-overlapping ranges. Unlike array of ranges, they prevent overlaps and thus allow you to effectively model ranges with gaps.
One of the use cases we have for them is modeling time. For example if you wanted to keep track of the cumulative periods and how many days someone is in a hospital, you could store this as a datemultirange type.
Regina Obe: PostgreSQL 14 64-bit for Windows FDWs
We are pleased to provide binaries for file_textarray_fdw and odbc_fdw for PostgreSQL 14 Windows 64-bit.
To use these, copy the files into your PostgreSQL 14 Windows 64-bit install folders in same named folders and then run CREATE EXTENSION as usual in the databases of your choice. More details in the packaged README.txt

Frits Hoogland: Linux buffered write latency
This blogpost is about doing buffered writes to a linux filesystem, and latency fluctuations that it could show you, especially when performing a lot of writes, and other implications.
The first thing to discuss is buffered writes. Any write to a linux local filesystem is done 'buffered', unless explicitly defined it not to, which is done by opening the file with the O_DIRECT flag. So all file interactions from the shell likely are done buffered, and the Postgresql database is also using buffered IO.

Ryan Lambert: PgDD extension moves to Pgx
Our data dictionary extension, PgDD, has been re-written using the pgx framework in Rust! At this time I have tagged 0.4.0.rc3 and just need to do a bit more testing before the official 0.4.0 release. While I am excited for the news for PgDD, what is more exciting is the pgx framework and the ease it brings to developing Postgres extensions!
