Indexes are a basic feature of relational databases, and PostgreSQL offers a rich collection of options to developers and designers. […]
There is a wide variety of indexes available in PostgreSQL. While most are common in almost all databases, there are some types of indexes that are more specific to PostgreSQL. For example, GIN indexes are helpful to speed up the search for element values within documents. GIN and GiST indexes could both be used […]

A couple of weeks ago I presented at Percona University São Paulo about the new features in PostgreSQL that allow the deployment of simple shards. I’ve tried to summarize the main points in this post, as well as providing an introductory overview of sharding itself. Please note I haven’t included any third-party extensions that […]

Usually, the PostgreSQL Community releases minor patches on the Thursday of the second week of the second month of each quarter. This can vary depending on the nature of the fixes. For example, if the fixes include critical fixes as a postgres community response to security vulnerabilities or bugs that might affect data integrity. […]

pgBackRest addresses many of the must-have features that you’ll want to look for in a PostgreSQL backup solution. I have been a great fan of the pgBackRest project for quite some time, and it gets better all the time. Historically, it was written in perl and now over the last year, the project is […]

Every database management system is not optimized for every workload. Database systems are designed for specific loads, and thereby give better performance for that workload. Similarly, some kinds of queries work better on some database systems and worse on others. This is the era of specialization, where a product is designed for a specific […]

In this research, I wanted to see what kind of performance improvements could be gained by using a ClickHouse data source rather than PostgreSQL. Assuming that I would see performance advantages with using ClickHouse, would those advantages be retained if I access ClickHouse from within postgres using a foreign data wrapper (FDW)? The FDW […]

Following on the heels of our PostgreSQL Tuples Statistics Dashboard, here’s another blog post describing how you can gain additional visibility of PostgreSQL queries using PMM. We take a look at using an extension called pg_stat_statements. This allows us to collect information about the various queries running in your PostgreSQL instance. We’ll describe how […]

PostgreSQL has a very unique way to review the code submitted by developers. Most open source software uses Github pull requests to accommodate users’ code. PostgreSQL has a Github page but doesn’t manage pull requests using Github. Many years ago, PostgreSQL introduced CommitFest to manage its patches, where postgres opens for a three to […]
