What is New in PostgreSQL 17

PostgreSQL has come a long way since its first release in 1986. Today, it’s one of the most widely used open source databases in the world. In this chapter, you will be introduced to all the most important and shiny features of PostgreSQL 17. Of course, the list of new stuff is almost infinite; therefore, this chapter will focus on those things that are expected to be most relevant to the majority of users.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Understanding DBA and administration features
  • Using SQL and developer features
  • Making use of new replication and backup add-ons
  • Considering breaking changes in PostgreSQL 17

By the end of this chapter, you will know all about these shiny new features and you will understand how to use the new functionality in more detail.
