PostgreSQL 17 Released!
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today announced the release of PostgreSQL 17, the latest version of the world's most advanced open source database.
PostgreSQL 17 builds on decades of open source development, improving its performance and scalability while adapting to emergent data access and storage patterns. This release of PostgreSQL adds significant overall performance gains, including an overhauled memory management implementation for vacuum, optimizations to storage access and improvements for high concurrency workloads, speedups in bulk loading and exports, and query execution improvements for indexes. PostgreSQL 17 has features that benefit brand new workloads and critical systems alike, such as additions to the developer experience with the SQL/JSON JSON_TABLE command, and enhancements to logical replication that simplify management of high availability workloads and major version upgrades.
"PostgreSQL 17 highlights how the global open source community, which drives the development of PostgreSQL, builds enhancements that help users at all stages of their database journey," said Jonathan Katz, a member of the PostgreSQL core team. "Whether it's improvements for operating databases at scale or new features that build on a delightful developer experience, PostgreSQL 17 will enhance your data management experience."
