Customers migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL and SQL Server to PostgreSQL are often curious of Oracle compatibility and SQL Server compatibility in PostgreSQL. Best way to solve most of the Oracle or SQL Server compatibility is through some of the popular extensions in PostgreSQL. I have had a chance to contribute to multiple such tools […]

I loved joining Jeremy Smith and Jess Brown as a guest on the IndieRails podcast!
I hope you enjoy this episode write-up, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback.
I got my start in programming in college, and my first job writing Java. This was the mid 2000s so this was Java Enterprise Edition, and I worked in a drab, boring gray cubicle, like Peter has in the movie Office Space.
I was so excited though to have a full-time job writing code as an Associate Software Engineer. For me this validated years of work learning how to write code in college, represented a huge pay increase, and felt like something I could make a career out of.
Somewhere along the way I saw the Ruby on Rails 15-minute build a blog video. This was a turning point for me, seeing what, and how an individual developer could build a full-stack web app.
Later in the 2000s, I took a side mission from Ruby on Rails, and taught myself Objective-C and iOS, and launched an app for train riders in Minneapolis. I called the app Train Brain and partnered with Nate Kadlac who designed the app icon, and all of the visuals for the app and website. Nate turned out to be a great connection, as we’ve remained friends over the years. When I asked Nate to do the cover illustration for my book, I was thrilled to hear it would work out because I know Nate is a talented designer, but also because I think we both love to support each other how we can.
I told a story of learning Ruby on Rails using the Michael Hartl book: RailsSpace. This was a favorite book of mine, because it had readers build a social networking app, which was a hot space to be in at the time. Readers built the app up as they went along, which is a great way to learn any new technology! I was working in a job I wasn’t loving out in the suburbs at this point, and didn’t really have work friends. On my lunch breaks, I’d take lunch myself at Wendy’s, and my usual order was a s
[...]PostgreSQL 17 Beta was released on May 23, 2024, introducing a host of exciting new features anticipated to be part of the official PostgreSQL 17 release. In this blog series, we’ll delve into these features and explore how they can benefit database developers and migration engineers transitioning to the latest PostgreSQL version.
First part of the blog is on newer features with PL\pgSQL – Procedural language in PostgreSQL 17.
PL/pgSQL is the default procedural language preinstalled on PostgreSQL whenever a new database is created. It is a loadable procedural language that follows a block-based structure, making it easier to wrap functional logic in stored code as functions or procedures.
As part of the PostgreSQL 17 Beta release, the following additions have been made to PL/pgSQL:
- Allow plpgsql %TYPE and %ROWTYPE specifications to represent arrays of non-array types (Quan Zongliang, Pavel Stehule)
- Allow plpgsql %TYPE specification to reference composite column (Tom Lane)
With PostgreSQL 17, we can now directly declare array types based on the primitive type of columns, or using row types from tables or user-defined types with %TYPE
or %ROWTYPE
.
Prior to PostgreSQL 17, if we needed to declare an array variable, we couldn’t use %TYPE
or %ROWTYPE
to refer to the underlying database type. Instead, we had to manually note the underlying data type and use it explicitly in the array declaration.
PostgreSQL 17 simplifies this process. Now, using %TYPE
and %ROWTYPE
, we can define array variables based on the types of underlying database objects like columns, tables, or user-defined types. Moreover, we can similarly declare additional array variables using underlying variables types.
Lets create a sample table and type to understand with an sql snippet.
--PostgreSQL 17 Beta
create table testplpgsql17
as
select col1, col1::text as col2, col1*9.9 as col3
from generate_series(1,10) as col1;

Invitation from James Blackwell-Sewell
I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting James when we worked together at Timescale. He’s a delightful chap, a great teacher and mentor in all things Postgres, and continues to help push things forward in the world of time-series data on the most advanced open-source, relational database in the world!
The challenge is below, but I have one bonus I’d like to invite folks to add as they publish. Who can create the coolest elephant image with AI to match their post?
This week I’ve been given the honor of hosting PGSQL Phriday, and I’d like to hear some opinions on the largest elephant in the room (and it’s not Slonik this time!): Artificial Intelligence.
We are in the middle of an AI Summer, with bigger and bigger advances every month. Almost every company, every product, and seemingly every developer, has their own opinion on what’s happening and why it’s important in their own corner of the tech world. But how does all this relate to our beloved PostgreSQL? I’d love to see blog posts from anyone and everyone that has thoughts on the two key questions below.
I know a lot of products, extensions, and startups already exist in this space, I’d love to hear what you’re all up to! As always, counterpoints are welcome, if you’ve got concerns about AI and PostgreSQL, let us know.

jq
is allowed only on json array (and result is an array again), so I needed to merge input records to array by using -s

option. For final processing, I need to translate result array just to set of records by syntax .[]
. Transformation to tsv (tab separated data) are used for better readability than csv.
I think 2024.pgconf.dev was a great event. I am really grateful to the organizing team for all the work that they did to put this event together, and I think they did a great job. I feel that it was really productive for me and for the PostgreSQL development community as a whole. Like most things in life, it was not perfect. But it was really good, and I'm looking forward to going back next year. It was also a blast to see Professor Margo Seltzer again; I worked for her as a research assistant many years ago. She gave a wonderful keynote.
Read more »This is the third and final instalment of "Deep Dive into PostgREST". In the first part, we explored basic CRUD functionalities. In the second part, we moved forward with abstraction and used the acquired knowledge to create a simple request/approval workflow.
In Part 3, we will explore authentication and authorisation options to finish something that might resemble a real-world application.
There's no authorisation without knowing user identity. So let's start there. Our users table from the first part had an email
to establish the identity, but no way to verify it. We will address this by adding a password column. Of course, nobody in their right mind would store passwords in plain text.
To securely store users' passwords, we are going to utilise PostgreSQL pgcrypto
extension (documentation). This built-in extension provides a suite of cryptographic functions for hashing, encryption, and more. In our case, we will leverage crypt
with the gen_salt
function to generate password hash using bcrypt algorithm.
Let's start with loading the extension and adding password column:
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pgcrypto;
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN password_hash TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT gen_salt('bf');
The new column password_hash
will accommodate the variable-length bcrypt hash, while default function gen_salt('bf')
creates a unique bcrypt salt for every user.
Now that our table structure is set, let's see how we can securely set and verify passwords using pgcrypto.
When a user sets or changes their password, we'll hash it using crypt before storing it in the password_hash column.Here's how:
UPDATE users SET password_hash = crypt('new_password', gen_salt('bf')) WHERE email = 'user@example.com';
and during login, we will verify the hash of the password the user enters with the stored password_hash:
SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE email = 'user@example.com' AND password_hash = crypt('entered_password', password_hash);

Formerly called Citus Con (yes, we did a rename), POSETTE is a free and virtual developer event happening Jun 11-13 that is chock-full of Postgres content—with 4 livestreams, 42 talks, and 44 speakers.
And while POSETTE is organized by the Postgres team here at Microsoft, there is a lot of PG community involvement. For example, 31 of the 44 speakers (~70%) are from outside Microsoft! We have also tried to be quite transparent about the talk selection process used for POSETTE 2024, if you’re curious.
On the schedule, the add to calendar links (in upper right of each livestream's tab) are quite useful for blocking your calendar—and the calendar appointments include a link to where you can watch the livestreams on the POSETTE site.
So what exactly is on the schedule for POSETTE: An Event for Postgres 2024? A lot! When you look at the schedule page, be sure to check out all 4 tabs, so you don’t miss all the unique talks in Livestreams 2, 3, and 4.
As much as many of us 🧡 in-person Postgres events—I just returned from PGConf.dev 2024 in Vancouver which was so much fun1—I am also a big fan of the accessibility of the virtual format.
Speaking of accessibility, let's talk captions. All the talk videos published on YouTube will have captions available in 14 lan

The post Reliable Backups in PostgreSQL – Another Critical Requirement for Financial Organizations appeared first on Stormatics.
Relational databases provide one very essential functionality which is key to integrity, data quality and consistency: foreign keys. If you want to build a professional application that relies on correct data, there is basically no way around the concept of referential integrity. The same is, of course, true in PostgreSQL.
However, there is a corner case many people are not aware of: circular dependencies. Now, how can that ever happen? Consider the following example which has been tested in PostgreSQL:
CREATE TABLE department (
id bigint GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
name text NOT NULL UNIQUE,
leader bigint NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE employee (
id bigint GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
name text NOT NULL,
department bigint REFERENCES department NOT NULL
);
ALTER TABLE department
ADD FOREIGN KEY (leader) REFERENCES employee;
In this case, we want to store departments and employees. Every department will need a leader, and every employee will need a department. We cannot have a department without a department leader - but we cannot have an employee without a department either.
The problem which arises is that we cannot insert into those two tables anymore without violating the foreign keys. The next listing shows what happens:
INSERT INTO department (name, leader) VALUES ('hans', 1);
ERROR: insert or update on table "department" violates
foreign key constraint "department_leader_fkey"
DETAIL: Key (leader)=(1) is not present in table "employee".
The problem is the same if we start to insert into the other table first - both operations will cause a similar error, so we are basically stuck with two tables into which we cannot insert any data.
The solution to the problem is to use “INITIALLY DEFERRED”. The idea is simple. Consider the following constraint inst

Nothing!
Last Friday I posted:
After that, I was up all night (not really) trying to compute this correctly in SQL. And then I figured I might as well wait until the streak is broken, which has happened now.
Here is what I came up with.
First, load a list of all commits into a table.
create table commits (
id int generated always as identity,
hash varchar,
commitdate timestamp with time zone
);
git log --reverse --format='format:%h%x09%ci' | psql -c 'copy commits (hash, commitdate) from stdin'
(This is using the “committer date” from Git, which is not necessarily exactly equal to the time the commit was made or pushed, or could be faked altogether. But let’s ignore that here; this is not a forensic analysis but just a bit of fun.)
Now compute for each commit the duration since its previous commit:
select c1.hash,
c2.commitdate,
c2.commitdate - c1.commitdate as gap_since_prev
from commits c1 join commits c2 on c1.id = c2.id - 1
order by gap_since_prev desc
fetch first 20 rows only;
Result:
hash | commitdate | gap_since_prev

The soucre code is available on GitLab, a mirror is hosted on GitHub.
One could install the whole package, or just copy what is needed from the source code.
The extension is also available on PGXN.
In this release has been tested against PostgreSQL 17 beta 1..
There have been no new or changed features, therefore this is only a minor release.
Of late, I've been falling down a bunch of geospatial rabbit holes. One thing has remained true in each of them: it's really hard to debug what you can't see.
There are ways to visualize these. Some more-integrated SQL development environments like pgAdmin recognize and plot columns of geometry type. There's also the option of standing up a webserver to render out raster and/or vector tiles with something like Leaflet. Unfortunately, I don't love either solution. I like psql, vim, and the shell, and I don't want to do some query testing here and copy others into and out of pgAdmin over and over; I'm actually using Leaflet and vector tiles already, but restarting the whole server just to start debugging a modified query is a bit much in feedback loop time.
So: new tools. You need zsh, psql, and per usual, ideally a terminal emulator that can render images. I use wezterm but the only thing you'd need to change is the sole wezterm imgcat
call in each. Both can also pipe out to files.
The first one, and the tool I used to create the images in the fluviation post. pgisd
runs the given SQL script and renders geometry or geography columns in the output. (It actually has to run the query twice, in order to detect and build rendering code for each geom column)
I have some small polygons dumped from rasters, filtered, intersected, sliced, diced, et cetera. My script looks like this:
select
geom,
st_asewkt(st_centroid(geom)) as ewkt_centroid,
format(
'%1$s %2$s, radius %3$s',
round(st_x((st_maximuminscribedcircle(geom)).center)::numeric, 2),
round(st_y((st_maximuminscribedcircle(geom)).center)::numeric, 2),
round((st_maximuminscribedcircle(geom)).radius::numeric, 2)
) as text_largest_circle

When your company has decided it's time to invest in more open source, Postgres is the obvious choice. Managing databases is not new and you already have established practices and requirements for rolling out a new database. One of the big requirements we frequently help new customers with on their Postgres adoption is data encryption. While the question is simple, there's a few layers to it that determine which is the right approach for you. Here we'll walk through the pros and cons of approaches and help you identify the right path for your needs.
Let’s start by defining some terms. There are four primary ways to encrypt your data while it is at rest:
Operating system or disk-level encryption protects entire file systems or disks. This method is application-agnostic and offers encryption with minimal overhead. Think technologies like luks
in Linux or FileVault in MacOS.
Pros:
Cons:
Encryption is directly implemented on storage devices such as hard disk drives or SSDs which automatically encrypt all of the data written to their storage.

Since the beginning of my journey into the data world I've been keen on making professionals better at their data job. In the previous years that took the shape of creating materials in several different forms that could help people understand, use, and avoid mistakes on their data tool of choice. But now there's much more into it: a trusted AI solution to help data professional in their day to day optimization job.
The big advantage of the content creation approach is the 1-N effect: the material, once created and updated, can serve a multitude of people interested in the same technology or facing the same problem. You write an article once, and it gets found and adopted by a vast amount of professionals.
The limit of content tho, it's that it is an extra resource, that people need to find and read elsewhere. While this is useful, it forces a context switch, moving people away from the problem they are facing. Here is where tooling helps, providing assistance in the same IDE that professionals are using for their day to day work.
I have the luxury of working for Aiven which provides professionals an integrated platform for all their data needs. In the last three years I witnessed the growth of the platform and its evolution with the clear objective to make it better usable at scale. Tooling like integrations, Terraform providers and the Console facilitate the work that platform administrators have to perform on daily basis.
But what about the day to day work of developers and CloudOps teams? This was facilitated when dealing with administrative tasks like backups, creation of read only replicas or upgrades, but the day to day work of optimizing the workloads was still completely on their hands.
This, however, is now changing. With the recent launch of Aiven AI Database Optimizer we are able to help both developer and CloudOps in their day to day optimization work!

Sometimes one of our customers looks at the most time consuming statements in a database (either with pg_stat_statements
or with pgBadger) and finds COMMIT
in the high ranks. Normally, COMMIT
is a very fast statement in PostgreSQL, so that is worth investigating. In this article, I will explore the possible reasons for a slow COMMIT
and discuss what you can do about it.
COMMIT
activity in PostgreSQL
A slow COMMIT
is a surprising observation, because committing a transaction is a very simple activity in PostgreSQL. In most cases, all a COMMIT
has to do is
TRANSACTION_STATUS_COMMITTED
(0b01) (persisted in pg_xact
)
track_commit_timestamp
is set to on
, record the commit timestamp (persisted in pg_commit_ts
)
pg_wal
) to disk, unless synchronous_commit
is set to off
Note that because of the multi-versioning architecture of PostgreSQL, both COMMIT
and ROLLBACK
are normally very fast operations: they both don't have to touch the tables, they only register the status of the transaction in the commit log.
COMMIT
: disk problems
From the above it is clear that a potential cause of slowness is disk I/O. After all, flushing the WAL to disk causes I/O requests. So the first thing you should check is if the disk has a problem or is under load:
vmstat 1
” or “sar -p 1
” to measure the percentage of CPU time spent waiting for I/O (“wa
” in vmstat
and “%iowait
” in sar
). If that value is consistently above 10, you can be pretty certain that the I/O system is under stress.
During the last PGSession organized by Dalibo, I wrote and led a workshop (french) on the migration to PostgreSQL using Foreign Data Wrappers, or FDW. This was an opportunity to present to the general public the db_migrator
extension for which I wrote an article on this blog.
While working on this workshop, we noticed that copying data with the db_migrator
extension is not perfectly supported. Indeed, although there is a low-level function to distribute the transfer table by table over several processes, many situations will require writing a large number of SQL queries to get out of trouble. Over the following months, I worked on the design of an assistant written in PL/pgSQL whose purpose is to simplify the generation of these queries.
Database triggers allow encapsulation of multiple functionalities that are automatically invoked on specific events or DML operations like INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. The invocation of triggers can be controlled as BEFORE or AFTER the triggering events, either for each change or per statement. In migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL, it is important to be aware of triggers conversion gotchas.
In this blog, we discuss the default order of processing when multiple triggers are defined on the same table for the same events with the same characteristics. We will explore how this works in Oracle, how to alter the order, and how it operates in PostgreSQL.
We are defining a sample Oracle table that prints a message to understand the default order of processing.
--Tested on Oracle 19c
create table trigger_sample
(
col1 integer
);
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trigger0
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON trigger_sample
FOR EACH ROW
follows trigger1
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('RUNNING - trigger0 ');
END;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trigger1
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON trigger_sample
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('RUNNING - trigger1 ');
END;
/
By default, Oracle follows the order of trigger creation time and invokes triggers on similar events based on this order of creation time.
In Oracle, we can also influence the order by using the FOLLOWS
clause to define which existing trigger to follow as part of the execution order. In our sample, we will alter trigger0
to follow trigger1
.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trigger0
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON trigger_sample
FOR EACH ROW
follows trigger1
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('RUNNING - trigger0 ');
END;
/
Migration offers ample opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of both the source and target databases. It’s not uncommon to encounter similar triggering events on the same tables, as functionalities often span acro

This article explores the pgrx framework, which simplifies the creation of custom PostgreSQL extensions to bring more logic closer to your database. Traditionally, writing such extensions required familiarity with C and a deep understanding of PostgreSQL internals, which could be quite challenging. pgrx
lowers the barrier and allows developers to use Rust, known for its safety and performance, making the process of creating efficient and safe database extensions much more accessible.
When working with large datasets and migrations (as discussed in How Not to Change PostgreSQL Column Type), or during resource-intensive maintenance tasks, you'll want to optimise speed and minimise disruption to other processes. One way to control the pace of batch operations is to consider the load on the underlying system.
Many Unix-based systems (we will focus on Linux) provide a valuable metric called the system load average. This average consists of three values: the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute load averages. The load average is not normalised for the number of CPU cores, so a load average of 1 on a single-core system means full utilisation, while on a quad-core system, it indicates 25% utilisation.
In many cases, the system load average is also an excellent indicator of how ongoing operations are impacting a busy database cluster. In this article, we will create a PostgreSQL extension with a function called sys_loadavg()
that retrieves this load information. We will use the /proc/loadavg
file (part of the proc filesystem), which exposes underlying system details.

With these prerequisites in place, you can install pgrx
