Release date: 2024-09-26
PostgreSQL 17 contains many new features and enhancements, including:
New memory management system for VACUUM, which reduces
memory consumption and can improve overall vacuuming performance.
New SQL/JSON capabilities, including constructors,
identity functions, and the JSON_TABLE()
function, which converts JSON data into a table representation.
Various query performance improvements, including for sequential reads using streaming I/O, write throughput under high concurrency, and searches over multiple values in a btree index.
Logical replication enhancements, including:
Failover control
pg_createsubscriber, a utility that creates logical replicas from physical standbys
pg_upgrade now preserves logical replication slots on publishers and full subscription state on subscribers. This will allow upgrades to future major versions to continue logical replication without requiring copy to resynchronize.
New client-side connection option, sslnegotiation=direct,
that performs a direct TLS handshake to avoid a round-trip negotiation.
pg_basebackup now supports incremental backup.
COPY adds a new option,
ON_ERROR ignore, that allows a copy operation to
continue in the event of an error.
The above items and other new features of PostgreSQL 17 are explained in more detail in the sections below.
A dump/restore using pg_dumpall or use of pg_upgrade or logical replication is required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous release. See Section 18.6 for general information on migrating to new major releases.
Version 17 contains a number of changes that may affect compatibility with previous releases. Observe the following incompatibilities:
Change functions to use a safe search_path during maintenance operations (Jeff Davis) § §
This prevents maintenance operations (ANALYZE,
CLUSTER, CREATE
INDEX, CREATE
MATERIALIZED VIEW, REFRESH
MATERIALIZED VIEW, REINDEX,
or VACUUM) from performing unsafe access.
Functions used by expression indexes and materialized views that
need to reference non-default schemas must specify a search path
during function creation.
Restrict ago to only appear at the end in
interval values (Joseph Koshakow)
§
§
Also, prevent empty interval units from appearing multiple times.
Remove server variable old_snapshot_threshold (Thomas Munro) §
This variable allowed vacuum to remove rows that potentially could be still visible to running transactions, causing "snapshot too old" errors later if accessed. This feature might be re-added to PostgreSQL later if an improved implementation is found.
Change SET
SESSION AUTHORIZATION handling of the initial
session user's superuser status (Joseph Koshakow)
§
The new behavior is based on the session user's superuser status at
the time the SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION command
is issued, rather than their superuser status at connection time.
Remove feature which simulated per-database users (Nathan Bossart) §
The feature, db_user_namespace, was rarely used.
Remove adminpack contrib extension (Daniel Gustafsson) §
This was used by now end-of-life pgAdmin III.
Remove wal_sync_method value
fsync_writethrough on Windows (Thomas Munro)
§
This value was the same as fsync on Windows.
Change file boundary handling of two WAL file name functions (Kyotaro Horiguchi, Andres Freund, Bruce Momjian) §
The functions pg_walfile_name()
and pg_walfile_name_offset() used to report
the previous LSN segment number when the
LSN was on a file segment boundary; it now
returns the current LSN segment.
Remove server variable trace_recovery_messages
since it is no longer needed (Bharath Rupireddy)
§
Remove information schema column
element_types.domain_default
(Peter Eisentraut)
§
Change pgrowlocks lock mode output labels (Bruce Momjian) §
Remove buffers_backend and
buffers_backend_fsync from pg_stat_bgwriter
(Bharath Rupireddy)
§
These fields are considered redundant to similar columns in pg_stat_io.
Rename I/O block read/write timing statistics columns of pg_stat_statements (Nazir Bilal Yavuz) §
This renames blk_read_time
to shared_blk_read_time,
and blk_write_time to
shared_blk_write_time.
Change pg_attribute.attstattarget
and
pg_statistic_ext.stxstattarget
to represent the default statistics target as NULL
(Peter Eisentraut)
§
§
Rename pg_collation.colliculocale
to colllocale and
pg_database.daticulocale
to datlocale (Jeff Davis)
§
Rename pg_stat_progress_vacuum
column max_dead_tuples
to max_dead_tuple_bytes,
rename num_dead_tuples to
num_dead_item_ids, and add
dead_tuple_bytes (Masahiko Sawada)
§
§
Rename SLRU columns in system view pg_stat_slru
(Alvaro Herrera)
§
The column names accepted by pg_stat_reset_slru()
are also changed.
Below you will find a detailed account of the changes between PostgreSQL 17 and the previous major release.
Allow the optimizer to improve CTE plans by considering the statistics and sort order of columns referenced in earlier row output clauses (Jian Guo, Richard Guo, Tom Lane) § §
Improve optimization of IS NOT NULL and
IS NULL query restrictions (David Rowley,
Richard Guo, Andy Fan)
§
§
Remove IS NOT NULL restrictions from queries on
NOT NULL columns and eliminate scans on
NOT NULL columns if IS NULL
is specified.
Allow partition pruning on boolean columns on IS [NOT]
UNKNOWN conditionals (David Rowley)
§
Improve optimization of range values when using containment operators <@ and @> (Kim Johan Andersson, Jian He) §
Allow correlated IN subqueries to be transformed
into joins (Andy Fan, Tom Lane)
§
Improve optimization of the LIMIT clause
on partitioned tables, inheritance parents, and UNION
ALL queries (Andy Fan, David Rowley)
§
Allow query nodes to be run in parallel in more cases (Tom Lane) §
Allow GROUP BY columns to be internally
ordered to match ORDER BY (Andrei Lepikhov,
Teodor Sigaev)
§
This can be disabled using server variable enable_group_by_reordering.
Allow UNION (without ALL)
to use MergeAppend (David Rowley)
§
Fix MergeAppend plans to more accurately compute the number of rows that need to be sorted (Alexander Kuzmenkov) §
Allow GiST and SP-GiST indexes to be part of incremental sorts (Miroslav Bendik) §
This is particularly useful for ORDER BY
clauses where the first column has a GiST and SP-GiST index,
and other columns do not.
Add columns to pg_stats
to report range-type histogram information (Egor Rogov, Soumyadeep
Chakraborty)
§
Allow vacuum to more efficiently remove and freeze tuples (Melanie Plageman, Heikki Linnakangas) §
WAL traffic caused by vacuum is also more compact.
Allow vacuum to more efficiently store tuple references (Masahiko Sawada, John Naylor) § § § §
Additionally, vacuum is no longer silently limited to one gigabyte of memory when maintenance_work_mem or autovacuum_work_mem are higher.
Optimize vacuuming of relations with no indexes (Melanie Plageman) §
Increase default vacuum_buffer_usage_limit to 2MB (Thomas Munro) §
Improve performance when checking roles with many memberships (Nathan Bossart) §
Improve performance of heavily-contended WAL writes (Bharath Rupireddy) §
Improve performance when transferring large blocks of data to a client (Melih Mutlu) §
Allow the grouping of file system reads with the new system variable io_combine_limit (Thomas Munro, Andres Freund, Melanie Plageman, Nazir Bilal Yavuz) § § §
Create system view pg_stat_checkpointer
(Bharath Rupireddy, Anton A. Melnikov, Alexander Korotkov)
§
§
§
Relevant columns have been removed from pg_stat_bgwriter
and added to this new system view.
Improve control over resetting statistics (Atsushi Torikoshi, Bharath Rupireddy) § § §
Allow pg_stat_reset_shared()
(with no arguments) and
pg_stat_reset_shared(NULL) to reset all
shared statistics. Allow pg_stat_reset_shared('slru') and pg_stat_reset_slru()
(with no arguments) to reset SLRU statistics,
which was already possible with pg_stat_reset_slru(NULL).
Add log messages related to WAL recovery from backups (Andres Freund) §
Add log_connections log line for
trust connections (Jacob Champion)
§
Add log message to report walsender acquisition and release of replication slots (Bharath Rupireddy) §
This is enabled by the server variable log_replication_commands.
Add system view pg_wait_events
that reports wait event types (Bertrand Drouvot)
§
This is useful for adding descriptions
to wait events reported in pg_stat_activity.
Add wait events for checkpoint delays (Thomas Munro) §
Allow vacuum to report the progress of index processing (Sami Imseih) §
This appears in system view pg_stat_progress_vacuum
columns indexes_total and
indexes_processed.
Allow granting the right to perform maintenance operations (Nathan Bossart) §
The permission can be granted on a per-table basis using the MAINTAIN
privilege and on a per-role basis via the pg_maintain
predefined role. Permitted operations are
VACUUM, ANALYZE,
REINDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZED
VIEW, CLUSTER, and LOCK
TABLE.
Allow roles with pg_monitor
membership to execute pg_current_logfile()
(Pavlo Golub, Nathan Bossart)
§
Add system variable allow_alter_system
to disallow ALTER
SYSTEM (Jelte Fennema-Nio, Gabriele Bartolini)

SYSTEM to set unrecognized custom server variables
(Tom Lane)
§
This is also possible with GRANT
ON PARAMETER.
Add server variable transaction_timeout to restrict the duration of transactions (Andrey Borodin, Japin Li, Junwang Zhao, Alexander Korotkov) § § §
Add a builtin platform-independent collation provider (Jeff Davis) § § § §
This supports C and C.UTF-8
collations.
Add server variable huge_pages_status to report the use of huge pages by Postgres (Justin Pryzby) §
This is useful when huge_pages is set to
try.
Add server variable to disable event triggers (Daniel Gustafsson) §
The setting, event_triggers, allows for the temporary disabling of event triggers for debugging.
Allow the SLRU cache sizes to be configured (Andrey Borodin, Dilip Kumar, Alvaro Herrera) §
The new server variables are commit_timestamp_buffers, multixact_member_buffers, multixact_offset_buffers, notify_buffers, serializable_buffers, subtransaction_buffers, and transaction_buffers. commit_timestamp_buffers, transaction_buffers, and subtransaction_buffers scale up automatically with shared_buffers.
Add support for incremental file system backup (Robert Haas, Jakub Wartak, Tomas Vondra) § §
Incremental backups can be created using pg_basebackup's
new --incremental
option. The new application pg_combinebackup
allows manipulation of base and incremental file system backups.
Allow the creation of WAL summarization files (Robert Haas, Nathan Bossart, Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski) § § § §
These files record the block numbers that have changed within an
LSN
range and are useful for incremental file
system backups. This is controlled by the server
variables summarize_wal and wal_summary_keep_time, and introspected with pg_available_wal_summaries(),
pg_wal_summary_contents(), and
pg_get_wal_summarizer_state().
Add the system identifier to file system backup manifest files (Amul Sul) §
This helps detect invalid WAL usage.
Allow connection string value
dbname to be written when pg_basebackup
writes connection information to
postgresql.auto.conf (Vignesh C, Hayato Kuroda)

Have pg_upgrade migrate valid logical slots and subscriptions (Hayato Kuroda, Hou Zhijie, Vignesh C, Julien Rouhaud, Shlok Kyal) § §
This allows logical replication to continue quickly after the upgrade. This only works for old PostgreSQL clusters that are version 17 or later.
Enable the failover of logical slots (Hou Zhijie, Shveta Malik, Ajin Cherian) §
This is controlled by an optional fifth argument to pg_create_logical_replication_slot().
Add server variable sync_replication_slots to enable failover logical slot synchronization (Shveta Malik, Hou Zhijie, Peter Smith) § §
Add logical replication failover control to CREATE/ALTER
SUBSCRIPTION (Shveta Malik, Hou Zhijie, Ajin
Cherian)
§
§
Allow the application of logical replication changes to use hash indexes on the subscriber (Hayato Kuroda) §
Previously only btree indexes could be used for this purpose.
Improve logical decoding performance in cases where there are many subtransactions (Masahiko Sawada) §
Restart apply workers if subscription owner's superuser privileges are revoked (Vignesh C) §
This forces reauthentication.
Add flush option to pg_logical_emit_message()
(Michael Paquier)

In COPY FROM, allow easy specification that all
columns should be forced null or not null (Zhang Mingli)
§
Allow partitioned tables to have identity columns (Ashutosh Bapat) §
Allow exclusion constraints on partitioned tables (Paul A. Jungwirth) §
As long as exclusion constraints compare partition key columns for equality, other columns can use exclusion constraint-specific comparisons.
Add clearer ALTER
TABLE method to set a column to the default
statistics target (Peter Eisentraut)
§
The new syntax is ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS
DEFAULT; using SET STATISTICS -1
is still supported.
Allow ALTER TABLE to change a column's generation

Add pg_dump option
--exclude-extension (Ayush Vatsa)
§
Allow pg_dump, pg_dumpall, and pg_restore to specify include/exclude objects in a file (Pavel Stehule, Daniel Gustafsson) §
The option is called --filter.
Add the --sync-method parameter to several client
