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.
