EDB Postgres Advanced Server (Database Server 11.8.15)
This update is notifying you of a new software release EDB Postgres™ Advanced Server 11.8.15. EDB Postgres Advanced Server 11 is built on the open source PostgreSQL 11, which introduces an impressive number of improvements that enable databases to scale up and scale out in more efficient ways. PostgreSQL 11 introduces increased robustness and performance to partitioning, transactions supported in stored features, enhanced capability for query parallelism and many more features.
PostgreSQL has now introduced a common YUM repository, details of which can be found in this newsletter: https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/2027/
Highlights of 11.8.15 release include:
- Merge with community release 11.8.
- More information about this and other fixes in community PostgreSQL can be found https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/2038/ and https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/release-11-8.html.
- On Windows, OpenSSL 1.0.2v is supported.
- The sslutils 1.3 version, which is a Postgres extension that provides SSL certificate generation functions to Advanced Server.
- Enhancements implemented in cloneschema 1.12 and parallel_clone 1.7.
- Please note that this is the last release supporting UpdateMonitor and it will be deprecated from the forthcoming releases.
- DB-380 - dblink_oci: Add GUC to control the scan type for the remote statement. New GUC edb_dblink_oci.rescan = {serializable | scroll}, will allow a user to choose the scrollable vs non-scrollable cursor. [#947738]
- DB-187 - Do not push ROWNUM to the child scan/join targets paths and disable partition-wise aggregate when query has ROWNUM.
