Release 13Release date:2020-09-24OverviewPostgreSQL 13 contains many new features and
enhancements, including:
Space savings and performance gains from de-duplication of B-tree
index entries
Improved performance for queries that use aggregates or partitioned
tables
Better query planning when using extended statistics
Parallelized vacuuming of B-tree indexes
Incremental sorting
The above items and other new features
of PostgreSQL 13 are explained in more
detail in the sections below.
Migration to Version 13
A dump/restore using or use of or logical replication is required for those
wishing to migrate data from any previous release. See for general information on migrating to new major
releases.
Version 13 contains a number of changes that may affect compatibility
with previous releases. Observe the following incompatibilities:
Change SIMILAR
TO ... ESCAPE NULL to return NULL
(Tom Lane)
This new behavior matches the SQL specification.
Previously a null ESCAPE value was taken to mean
using the default escape string (a backslash character). This also
applies to substring(text
FROM pattern
ESCAPE text). The previous
behavior has been retained in old views by keeping the original
function unchanged.
Make json[b]_to_tsvector()
fully check the spelling of its string option
(Dominik Czarnota)
Change the way non-default values affect concurrency
(Thomas Munro)
Previously, this value was adjusted before setting the number of
concurrent requests. The value is now used directly. Conversion of
old values to new ones can be done using:
SELECT round(sum(OLDVALUE / n::float)) AS newvalue FROM generate_series(1, OLDVALUE) s(n);
Prevent display of auxiliary processes in and
system views (Euler Taveira)
Queries that join these views to and wish to see auxiliary processes
will need to use left joins.
Rename various wait
events to improve consistency (Fujii Masao, Tom Lane)
Fix ALTER FOREIGN
TABLE ... RENAME COLUMN to return a more appropriate
command tag (Fujii Masao)
Previously it returned ALTER TABLE; now it returns
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE.
Fix ALTER
MATERIALIZED VIEW ... RENAME COLUMN to return a more
appropriate command tag (Fujii Masao)
Previously it returned ALTER TABLE; now it returns
ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW.
Rename configuration parameter wal_keep_segments
to (Fujii Masao)
This determines how much WAL to retain for standby servers.
It is specified in megabytes, rather than number of files as with
the old parameter. If you
previously used wal_keep_segments,
the following formula will give you an approximately equivalent setting:
wal_keep_size = wal_keep_segments * wal_segment_size (typically 16MB)
Remove support for defining operator
classes using pre-PostgreSQL
8.0 syntax (Daniel Gustafsson)
Remove support for defining foreign key
constraints using pre-PostgreSQL
7.3 syntax (Daniel Gustafsson)
Remove support for "opaque" pseudo-types used by
pre-PostgreSQL 7.3 servers (Daniel
Gustafsson)
Remove support for posixrules files in the
timezone database (Tom Lane)
IANA's timezone group has deprecated this feature, meaning that it
will gradually disappear from systems' timezone databases over the
next few years. Rather than have a behavioral change appear
unexpectedly with a timezone data update, we have
removed PostgreSQL's support for this
feature as of version 13. This affects only the behavior
of POSIX-style time
zone specifications that lack an explicit daylight savings
transition rule; formerly the transition rule could be determined
by installing a custom posixrules file, but
now it is hard-wired. The recommended fix for any affected
installations is to start using a geographical time zone name.
In , when an lquery pattern
contains adjacent asterisks with braces,
e.g., *{2}.*{3}, properly interpret that
as *{5} (Nikita Glukhov)
Fix 's bt_metap()
to return more appropriate data types that are less likely to overflow
(Peter Geoghegan)
Changes
Below you will find a detailed account of the changes between
PostgreSQL 13 and the previous major
release.
ServerPartitioning
Allow pruning of
partitions to happen in more cases
(Yuzuko Hosoya, Amit Langote, Álvaro Herrera)
Allow partitionwise
joins to happen in more cases (Ashutosh Bapat, Etsuro Fujita,
Amit Langote, Tom Lane)
For example, partitionwise joins can now happen between partitioned
tables even when their partition bounds do not match exactly.
Support row-level BEFORE triggers on partitioned tables (Álvaro
Herrera)
However, such a trigger is not allowed to change which partition
is the destination.
Allow partitioned tables to be logically replicated via publications (Amit Langote)
Previously, partitions had to be replicated individually. Now a
partitioned table can be published explicitly, causing all its
partitions to be published automatically. Addition/removal of a
partition causes it to be likewise added to or removed from the
publication.
The CREATE
PUBLICATION option
publish_via_partition_root controls whether changes
to partitions are published as their own changes or their parent's.
Allow logical replication into partitioned tables on subscribers
(Amit Langote)
Previously, subscribers could only receive rows into non-partitioned
tables.
Allow whole-row variables (that
is, table.*) to be
used in partitioning expressions (Amit Langote)
Indexes
More efficiently store duplicates in B-tree indexes
(Anastasia Lubennikova, Peter Geoghegan)
This allows efficient B-tree indexing of low-cardinality columns
by storing duplicate keys only once. Users upgrading with pg_upgrade
will need to use REINDEX to make an
existing index use this feature.
Allow GiST and SP-GiST indexes on box
columns to support ORDER BY box
<-> point queries (Nikita
Glukhov)
Allow GIN indexes to
more efficiently handle ! (NOT) clauses
in tsquery searches (Nikita
Glukhov, Alexander Korotkov, Tom Lane, Julien Rouhaud)
Allow index operator classes
to take parameters (Nikita Glukhov)
Allow CREATE INDEX to specify the GiST signature
length and maximum number of integer ranges (Nikita Glukhov)
Indexes created on four and eight-byte integer
array, tsvector,
, , and columns can now control these GiST index parameters,
rather than using the defaults.
Prevent indexes that use non-default collations from being added as a table's unique or primary
key constraint (Tom Lane)
The index's collation must match that of the underlying column,
but ALTER TABLE previously failed to check
this.
Optimizer
Improve the optimizer's selectivity estimation for
containment/match operators (Tom Lane)
Allow setting the statistics target
for extended statistics
(Tomas Vondra)
This is controlled with the new command option ALTER
STATISTICS ... SET STATISTICS. Previously this was computed
based on more general statistics target settings.
Allow use of multiple extended statistics objects in a single query
(Tomas Vondra)
Allow use of extended statistics objects for OR clauses and IN/ANY constant
lists (Pierre Ducroquet, Tomas Vondra)
Allow functions in FROM clauses to be pulled up
(inlined) if they evaluate to constants (Alexander Kuzmenkov,
Aleksandr Parfenov)
General Performance
Implement incremental
sorting (James Coleman, Alexander Korotkov, Tomas Vondra)
If an intermediate query result is known to be sorted by
one or more leading keys of a required sort ordering, the
additional sorting can be done considering only the remaining
keys, if the rows are sorted in batches that have equal leading
keys.
If necessary, this can be controlled using .
Improve the performance of sorting inet values (Brandur Leach)
Allow hash aggregation
to use disk storage for large aggregation result sets (Jeff Davis)
Previously, hash aggregation was avoided if it was expected to use
more than memory. Now, a hash
aggregation plan can be chosen despite that. The hash table will
be spilled to disk if it exceeds work_mem times
.
This behavior is normally preferable to the old behavior, in which
once hash aggregation had been chosen, the hash table would be
kept in memory no matter how large it got — which could be
very large if the planner had misestimated. If necessary,
behavior similar to that can be obtained by
increasing hash_mem_multiplier.
Allow inserts, not only updates and deletes, to
trigger autovacuum activity
(Laurenz Albe, Darafei Praliaskouski)
This new behavior reduces the work that will be necessary later
when the table needs to be frozen, and it allows pages to be
marked as all-visible sooner. All-visible pages allow index-only
scans to access fewer heap rows.
Add to control I/O
concurrency for maintenance operations (Thomas Munro)
Allow WAL writes to be skipped during a transaction
that creates or rewrites a relation, if is minimal (Kyotaro
Horiguchi)
Relations larger than
will have their files fsync'ed rather than generating
WAL. Previously this was done only for
COPY operations, but the implementation had a bug
that could cause data loss during crash recovery.
Improve performance when replaying DROP DATABASE
commands when many tablespaces are in use (Fujii Masao)
Improve performance for truncation
of very large relations (Kirk Jamison)
Improve retrieval of the leading bytes of TOAST'ed values
(Binguo Bao, Andrey Borodin)
Previously, compressed out-of-line TOAST values
were fully fetched even when it's known that only some leading
bytes are needed. Now, only enough data to produce the result is
fetched.
Improve performance of LISTEN/NOTIFY
(Martijn van Oosterhout, Tom Lane)
Speed up conversions of integers to text (David Fetter)
Reduce memory usage for query strings and extension scripts that
contain many SQL statements (Amit Langote)
Monitoring
Allow EXPLAIN,
, autovacuum, and to track WAL usage
statistics (Kirill Bychik, Julien Rouhaud)
Allow a sample of SQL statements, rather than all statements, to
be logged (Adrien Nayrat)
A fraction of
those statements taking more than
duration will be
logged.
Add the backend type to csvlog and optionally log output (Peter Eisentraut)
Improve control of prepared statement parameter logging (Alexey
Bashtanov, Álvaro Herrera)
The GUC setting controls the maximum length
of parameter values output during logging of non-error statements,
while does
the same for logging of statements with errors. Previously,
prepared statement parameters were never logged during errors.
Allow function call backtraces to be logged after errors (Peter
Eisentraut, Álvaro Herrera)
The new parameter specifies
which C functions should generate backtraces on error.
Make vacuum buffer counters 64-bits
wide to avoid overflow (Álvaro Herrera)
System Views
Add leader_pid to to report a parallel worker's
leader process (Julien Rouhaud)
Add system view pg_stat_progress_basebackup
to report the progress of streaming base backups (Fujii Masao)
Add system view pg_stat_progress_analyze
to report ANALYZE progress
(Álvaro Herrera, Tatsuro Yamada, Vinayak Pokale)
Add system view pg_shmem_allocations
to display shared memory usage (Andres Freund, Robert Haas)
Add system view pg_stat_slru
to monitor internal SLRU caches
(Tomas Vondra)
Allow to be set as
high as 1MB (Vyacheslav Makarov)
The previous maximum was 100kB.
Wait Events
Report a wait event while creating a DSM segment
with posix_fallocate() (Thomas Munro)
Add wait event VacuumDelay to report on cost-based vacuum delay
(Justin Pryzby)
Add wait events for WAL archive and recovery pause
(Fujii Masao)
The new events are BackupWaitWalArchive and RecoveryPause.
Add wait events RecoveryConflictSnapshot and
RecoveryConflictTablespace to monitor recovery conflicts (Masahiko
Sawada)
Improve performance of wait events on BSD-based
systems (Thomas Munro)
Authentication
Allow only superusers to view the setting (Insung Moon)
This was changed as a security precaution.
Change the server's default minimum TLS version
for encrypted connections from 1.0 to 1.2 (Peter Eisentraut)
This choice can be controlled by
.
Server Configuration
Tighten rules on which utility commands are allowed in
read-only transaction mode (Robert Haas)
This change also increases the number of utility commands that can
run in parallel queries.
Allow to be changed
after server start (Peter Eisentraut)
Disallow non-superusers from modifying system tables when is set (Peter Eisentraut)
Previously, if
was set at server start, non-superusers could issue
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
commands on system tables.
Enable support
for Unix-domain
sockets on Windows (Peter Eisentraut)
Streaming Replication and Recovery
Allow streaming replication configuration settings to be changed by
reload (Sergei Kornilov)
Previously, a server restart was required to change
and .
Allow WAL receivers to use a temporary
replication slot when a permanent one is not specified (Peter
Eisentraut, Sergei Kornilov)
This behavior can be enabled using .
Allow WAL storage for replication slots to be limited by
(Kyotaro Horiguchi)
Replication slots that would require exceeding this value are
marked invalid.
Allow standby promotion
to cancel any requested pause (Fujii Masao)
Previously, promotion could not happen while the standby was in
paused state.
Generate an error if recovery does not reach the specified recovery target
(Leif Gunnar Erlandsen, Peter Eisentraut)
Previously, a standby would promote itself upon reaching the end
of WAL, even if the target was not reached.
Allow control over how much memory is used by logical decoding before
it is spilled to disk (Tomas Vondra, Dilip Kumar, Amit Kapila)
This is controlled by .
Allow recovery to continue even if invalid
pages are referenced by WAL (Fujii Masao)
This is enabled using .
Utility Commands
Allow VACUUM
to process indexes in parallel (Masahiko Sawada, Amit Kapila)
The new PARALLEL option controls this.
Allow FETCH FIRST
to use WITH TIES to return any additional rows
that match the last result row (Surafel Temesgen)
Report planning-time buffer usage in EXPLAIN's
BUFFER output (Julien Rouhaud)
Make CREATE TABLE
LIKE propagate a CHECK
constraint's NO INHERIT property to the created
table (Ildar Musin, Chris Travers)
When using LOCK
TABLE on a partitioned table, do not check permissions
on the child tables (Amit Langote)
Allow OVERRIDING USER
VALUE on inserts into identity columns (Dean Rasheed)
Add ALTER
TABLE ... DROP EXPRESSION
to allow removing the GENERATED
property from a column (Peter Eisentraut)
Fix bugs in multi-step ALTER TABLE commands (Tom
Lane)
IF NOT EXISTS clauses now work as expected, in
that derived actions (such as index creation) do not execute if the
column already exists. Also, certain cases of combining related
actions into one ALTER TABLE now work when they
did not before.
Add ALTER VIEW
syntax to rename view columns (Fujii Masao)
Renaming view columns was already possible, but one had to
write ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN, which is
confusing.
Add ALTER TYPE
options to modify a base type's TOAST properties
and support functions (Tomas Vondra, Tom Lane)
Add CREATE
DATABASELOCALE option (Peter
Eisentraut)
This combines the existing options LC_COLLATE and
LC_CTYPE into a single option.
Allow DROP
DATABASE to disconnect sessions using the target
database, allowing the drop to succeed (Pavel Stehule, Amit Kapila)
This is enabled by the FORCE option.
Add structure member tg_updatedcols
to allow C-language update triggers to know which column(s) were updated
(Peter Eisentraut)
Data Types
Add polymorphic data types for use by functions requiring compatible
arguments (Pavel Stehule)
The new data types are anycompatible,
anycompatiblearray, anycompatiblenonarray,
and anycompatiblerange.
Add SQL data type xid8 to expose
FullTransactionId (Thomas Munro)
The existing xid data type is only four bytes so it
does not provide the transaction epoch.
Add data
type regcollation
and associated functions, to represent OIDs of collation objects
(Julien Rouhaud)
Use the glibc version in some cases as a collation version identifier (Thomas Munro)
If the glibc version changes, a warning will be issued about
possible corruption of collation-dependent indexes.
Add support for collation versions on Windows (Thomas Munro)
Allow ROW
expressions to have their members extracted with suffix
notation (Tom Lane)
For example, (ROW(4, 5.0)).f1 now returns 4.
Functions
Add alternate version of jsonb_set()
with improved NULL handling (Andrew Dunstan)
The new function, jsonb_set_lax(), handles a
NULL new value by either setting the specified
key to a JSON null, deleting the key, raising an
exception, or returning the jsonb value unmodified, as
requested.
Add jsonpath .datetime()
method (Nikita Glukhov, Teodor Sigaev, Oleg Bartunov, Alexander
Korotkov)
This function allows JSON values to be converted
to timestamps, which can then be processed in jsonpath
expressions. This change also adds jsonpath functions
that support time-zone-aware output.
Add SQL functions NORMALIZE()
to normalize Unicode strings, and IS
NORMALIZED to check for normalization (Peter
Eisentraut)
Add min() and
max() aggregates for pg_lsn (Fabrízio
de Royes Mello)
These are particularly useful in monitoring queries.
Allow Unicode
escapes,
e.g., E'\unnnn'
or U&'\nnnn', to
specify any character available in the database encoding, even when
the database encoding is not UTF-8 (Tom Lane)
Allow to_date()
and to_timestamp() to recognize non-English
month/day names (Juan José Santamaría Flecha, Tom Lane)
The names recognized are the same as those output by to_char()
with the same format patterns.
Add datetime format patterns FF1
– FF6 to specify input or output of
1 to 6 fractional-second digits (Alexander
Korotkov, Nikita Glukhov, Teodor Sigaev, Oleg Bartunov)
These patterns can be used by to_char(),
to_timestamp(), and jsonpath's
.datetime().
Add SSSSS datetime format pattern as an
SQL-standard alias for SSSS
(Nikita Glukhov, Alexander Korotkov)
Add function gen_random_uuid()
to generate version-4 UUIDs (Peter Eisentraut)
Previously UUID generation functions were only
available in the external modules and .
Add greatest-common-denominator
(gcd)
and least-common-multiple (lcm) functions (Vik
Fearing)
Improve the performance and accuracy of the numeric
type's square root
(sqrt) and natural log
(ln) functions (Dean Rasheed)
Add function min_scale()
that returns the number of digits to the right of the decimal point
that are required to represent a numeric value with
full accuracy (Pavel Stehule)
Add function trim_scale()
to reduce the scale of a numeric value by removing
trailing zeros (Pavel Stehule)
Add commutators of distance
operators (Nikita Glukhov)
For example, previously only point<->line was supported,
now line<->point
works too.
Create xid8 versions of all transaction ID functions
(Thomas Munro)
The old xid-based functions still exist, for backward
compatibility.
Allow get_bit()
and set_bit() to set bits beyond the first
256MB of a bytea value (Movead Li)
Allow advisory-lock
functions to be used in some parallel operations (Tom Lane)
Add the ability to remove an object's dependency on an extension
(Álvaro Herrera)
The object can be a function, materialized view, index, or trigger.
The syntax is ALTER .. NO DEPENDS ON.
PL/pgSQL
Improve performance of simple PL/pgSQL expressions (Tom Lane,
Amit Langote)
Improve performance of PL/pgSQL functions that use immutable
expressions (Konstantin Knizhnik)
Client Interfaces
Allow libpq clients to require channel binding for encrypted
connections (Jeff Davis)
Using the libpq connection parameter channel_binding
forces the other end of the TLS connection to prove
it knows the user's password. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.
Add libpq connection parameters to control the minimum and maximum
TLS version allowed for an encrypted connection
(Daniel Gustafsson)
The settings are and .
By default, the minimum TLS version is 1.2
(this represents a behavioral change from previous releases).
Allow use of passwords to unlock client certificates (Craig
Ringer, Andrew Dunstan)
This is enabled by libpq's
connection parameter.
Allow libpq to use DER-encoded client
certificates (Craig Ringer, Andrew Dunstan)
Fix ecpg's EXEC SQL
elif directive to work correctly (Tom Lane)
Previously it behaved the same as endif followed
by ifdef, so that a successful previous branch
of the same if construct did not prevent
expansion of the elif branch or following
branches.
Client Applications
Add transaction status (%x)
to psql's default
prompts (Vik Fearing)
Allow the secondary psql prompt to be
blank but the same width as the primary prompt (Thomas Munro)
This is accomplished by setting PROMPT2
to %w.
Allow psql's
\g
and \gx commands to
change \pset output
options for the duration of that single command (Tom Lane)
This feature allows syntax like \g (expand=on),
which is equivalent to \gx.
Add psql commands to display operator
classes and operator families (Sergey Cherkashin, Nikita Glukhov,
Alexander Korotkov)
The new commands are \dAc,
\dAf, \dAo,
and \dAp.
Show table persistence in psql's \dt+
and related commands (David Fetter)
In verbose mode, the table/index/view shows if the object is permanent,
temporary, or unlogged.
Improve output of psql's \d
for TOAST tables (Justin Pryzby)
Fix redisplay after psql's \e
command (Tom Lane)
When exiting the editor, if the query doesn't end with a semicolon
or \g, the query buffer contents will now be
displayed.
Add \warn
command to psql (David Fetter)
This is like \echo except that the text is sent
to stderr instead of stdout.
Add the PostgreSQL home page to command-line
output (Peter Eisentraut)
pgbench
Allow pgbench to partition its accounts table
(Fabien Coelho)
This allows performance testing of partitioning.
Add pgbench command \aset, which behaves
like \gset, but for multiple queries (Fabien
Coelho)
Allow pgbench to generate its initial data server-side, rather
than client-side (Fabien Coelho)
Allow pgbench to show script contents using option
(Fabien Coelho)
Server Applications
Generate backup manifests for base backups, and verify them (Robert
Haas)
A new tool pg_verifybackup
can verify backups.
Have pg_basebackup
estimate the total backup size by default (Fujii Masao)
This computation allows pg_stat_progress_basebackup
to show progress. If that is not needed, it can be disabled by
using the option. Previously,
this computation happened only if the
option was used.
Add an option to pg_rewind
to configure standbys (Paul Guo, Jimmy Yih, Ashwin Agrawal)
This matches pg_basebackup's
option.
Allow pg_rewind to use the target
cluster's to retrieve needed
WAL (Alexey Kondratov)
This is enabled using the
/ option.
Have pg_rewind automatically run crash
recovery before rewinding (Paul Guo, Jimmy Yih, Ashwin Agrawal)
This can be disabled by using .
Increase the PREPARE
TRANSACTION-related information reported by
pg_waldump (Fujii Masao)
Add pg_waldump
option to suppress non-error output (Andres
Freund, Robert Haas)
Add pg_dump
option to dump data from
foreign servers (Luis Carril)
Allow vacuum commands run by vacuumdb to operate in parallel mode
(Masahiko Sawada)
This is enabled with the new option.
Allow reindexdb to operate in
parallel (Julien Rouhaud)
Parallel mode is enabled with the new option.
Allow dropdb to disconnect
sessions using the target database, allowing the drop to succeed
(Pavel Stehule)
This is enabled with the option.
Remove and
from createuser (Alexander
Lakhin)
The long-supported preferred options for this are called
and .
Use the directory of the pg_upgrade
program as the default setting when
running pg_upgrade (Daniel Gustafsson)
Documentation
Add a glossary to the documentation
(Corey Huinker, Jürgen Purtz, Roger Harkavy, Álvaro
Herrera)
Reformat tables containing function
and operator information for better clarity (Tom Lane)
Upgrade to use DocBook 4.5
(Peter Eisentraut)
Source Code
Add support for building on Visual Studio 2019 (Haribabu Kommi)
Add build support for MSYS2 (Peter Eisentraut)
Add compare_exchange and fetch_add assembly language code for Power
PC compilers (Noah Misch)
Update Snowball
stemmer dictionaries used by full text search (Panagiotis
Mavrogiorgos)
This adds Greek stemming and improves Danish and French stemming.
Remove support for Windows 2000 (Michael Paquier)
Remove support for non-ELF BSD
systems (Peter Eisentraut)
Remove support for Python versions
2.5.X and earlier (Peter Eisentraut)
Remove support for OpenSSL 0.9.8
and 1.0.0 (Michael Paquier)
Remove configure options
and (Peter Eisentraut)
These were needed for compatibility with some version-zero C
functions, but those are no longer supported.
Pass the query string to planner hook functions (Pascal Legrand,
Julien Rouhaud)
Add TRUNCATE
command hook (Yuli Khodorkovskiy)
Add TLS init hook (Andrew Dunstan)
Allow building with no predefined Unix-domain socket directory
(Peter Eisentraut)
Reduce the probability of SysV resource key collision on Unix platforms
(Tom Lane)
Use operating system functions to reliably erase memory that contains
sensitive information (Peter Eisentraut)
For example, this is used for clearing passwords stored in memory.
Add headerscheck script to test C header-file
compatibility (Tom Lane)
Implement internal lists as arrays, rather than a chain of cells
(Tom Lane)
This improves performance for queries that access many objects.
Change the API for TS_execute() (Tom Lane,
Pavel Borisov)
TS_execute callbacks must now provide ternary
(yes/no/maybe) logic. Calculating NOT queries accurately is now
the default.
Additional Modules
Allow extensions to be
specified as trusted (Tom Lane)
Such extensions can be installed in a database by users with
database-level CREATE privileges, even if they
are not superusers. This change also removes
the pg_pltemplate system catalog.
Remove support for upgrading unpackaged (pre-9.1) extensions (Tom Lane)
Allow non-superusers to connect to
foreign servers without using a password (Craig Ringer)
Specifically, allow a superuser to set
password_required to false for
a user mapping. Care
must still be taken to prevent non-superusers from using superuser
credentials to connect to the foreign server.
Allow postgres_fdw to use certificate
authentication (Craig Ringer)
Different users can use different certificates.
Allow to control access to the
TRUNCATE command (Yuli Khodorkovskiy)
Add extension bool_plperl
which transforms SQL booleans to/from PL/Perl
booleans (Ivan Panchenko)
Have treat SELECT
... FOR UPDATE commands as distinct from those
without FOR UPDATE (Andrew Gierth, Vik Fearing)
Allow pg_stat_statements to optionally
track the planning time of statements (Julien Rouhaud, Pascal Legrand,
Thomas Munro, Fujii Masao)
Previously only execution time was tracked.
Overhaul 's lquery syntax to treat
NOT (!) more logically (Filip Rembialkowski,
Tom Lane, Nikita Glukhov)
Also allow non-* queries to use a numeric range ({}) of matches.
Add support for binary I/O of , lquery, and
ltxtquery types (Nino Floris)
Add an option to to ignore the sign
of integers (Jeff Janes)
Add function
pg_file_sync() to allow fsync'ing a file
(Fujii Masao)
Add functions to output
t_infomask/t_infomask2
values in human-readable format (Craig Ringer, Sawada Masahiko,
Michael Paquier)
Add B-tree index de-duplication processing columns to pageinspect output
(Peter Geoghegan)
