Today, I finally thought that that time had come. My patch process Normally, when I want to write a patch I do the following: Inspect ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. On 26th of March 2021, Noah Misch committed patch: Add "pg_database_owner" default role.   Membership consists, implicitly, of the current database owner. Expect use in template databases. Once pg_database_owner has rights within a template, each owner of a database instantiated from that template will exercise those rights.   Reviewed by John Naylor.   Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20201228043148.GA1053024@rfd.leadboat.com This will definitely come in handy.

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. On 19th of March 2021, Robert Haas committed patch: Allow configurable LZ4 TOAST compression.   There is now a per-column COMPRESSION option which can be set to pglz (the default, and the only option in up until now) or lz4. Or, if you like, you can set the new default_toast_compression GUC to lz4, and then that will be the default for new table columns for which no value is specified. We don't have lz4 support in the PostgreSQL code, so to use lz4 compression, PostgreSQL must be built --with-lz4.   In general, TOAST compression means compression of ... Read More
