WHAT’S NEW
EDB is excited to announce portfolio support of Postgres database distributions, extensions, and tools for v16. EDB Postgres database distributions included EDB Postgres Extended (PGE) Server and EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) 16. This release merges all of the changes from PostgreSQL 16. Key changes and enhancements in PostgreSQL 16 include significant improvements to parallel processing, resulting in faster queries, advances to logical replication enabling complex architectures, and improved privilege administration changes. These enhancements reinforce PostgreSQL's position as the most advanced open-source database.
All supported software with break/fix entitlement as part of the EDB Postgres platform is now certified with v16 on all supported platforms (OS/architectures). Along with software packages for EDB customers to install and use, customers who want a fully managed Postgres will be able to deploy using EDB BigAnimal. Customers running Kubernetes can get started quickly with EDB Postgres for Kubernetes.
The adoption of Postgres in mission-critical and highly regulated environments continues to grow along with companies migrating their legacy database systems to Postgres. EDB aims to address these demands by adding flexible cryptographic key support for both PGE and EPAS, and this release adds additional advanced security features such as Privilege Analysis and even more Oracle Compatibility features to EPAS, requiring fewer rewrites when migrating from legacy databases and enabling developers to use familiar tools when writing business logic on a Postgres-based database.
