PostgreSQL has released a new version, with a host of updates and improvement to the world’s most advanced open-source database. In this blog post, I want to take you through the key new features implemented in PostgreSQL 17.

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.

Here's a toast to PostgreSQL for clinching DB-Engines’DBMS of the Year title for the fourth time!

Earlier this year, I was in Canada for PGConf 2023, where I talked about the evolution of PostgreSQL from a Berkeley research project to its current status as the most advanced open-source database, and discussed the various changes introduced for PostgreSQL 16, particularly regarding logical replication.

Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres was a proud sponsor of PG Conf India this past month, where over 400 attendees, representing 60 cities, across 10 countries travelled to Bangalore in India. Over three days, guests engaged in training workshops, Lightning Talks, and presentations encapsulating the latest contributions, knowledge sharing, updates, and hot topics in the wider open-source PostgreSQL...

Last month, I was proud to talk about the internals of logical replication to a room full of PostgreSQL enthusiasts at PGConf India 2023. In case you missed it, let's go through it together.

PostgreSQL 15 builds upon the enhancements of earlier versions and takes them to the next level, with several improvements to logical replication, increased sorting  performance, and the introduction of the MERGE command. I would like to talk about these features as well as what is under discussion for PostgreSQL 16.

PostgreSQL 15 doesn’t disappoint. Upon arrival of the new release, the long-awaited MERGE feature will be delivered. It may not have been with the speed of light, but right on time like a door dash delivery.

Currently, the global PostgreSQL development team, led by Amit Kapila, continues to contribute to the community as part of Fujitsu's work on PostgreSQL.
