  3. Someone got tired of writing `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - (random() * interval '365 days')` and filed a patch.

    #Postgres 19: typed random() for date & timestamp types, plus pg_get_role_ddl(), pg_get_tablespace_ddl(), and pg_get_database_ddl(). DDL introspection without spelunking through system catalogs.

    No theme. No marketing name. Just features that someone needed badly enough to write the code. That's the Cult of Functionality.

  5. Что мы находим при аудите PostgreSQL: 10 распространенных ошибок

    Когда приходишь на аудит СУБД к разным компаниям, картина удивительно похожа: одни и те же проблемы, одни и те же причины. Меня зовут Андрей, я DBA в группе поддержки системного ПО Центра экспертизы по комплексному сервису К2Тех, сертифицированный эксперт Postgres Pro. В этой статье представлен ТОП-10 ошибок, с которыми мы встречаемся чаще всего. Я разберу, чем они опасны, почему возникают, и как их можно решить. Скорее всего, многие пункты покажутся вам до боли знакомыми:

  6. Sometimes the best way to learn how something works is to break it.

    This week, Coroot CEO Nikolay Sivko tried to take down CloudNativePG replication. Turns out, it’s remarkably resilient: coroot.com/blog/fencing-a-cnpg

    Even when the network was severed between a #Postgres replica and its primary, the replica continued to pull from a second WAL source: the S3 backup archive.

  8. A database monitoring graph says replication lag is climbing. It doesn't say whether WAL isn't reaching the replica or is sitting there unapplied.

  16. "Too many tables" is a real failure mode, not a style opinion.

    Laurenz Albe traces a customer's OOM kills and failed autovacuum forks to tens of thousands of tables: each long-lived connection's catcache/relcache grows as it touches them. 20,000 tables reached 221 MB per backend in his test.

  18. Imagine you've worked with stoves for decades. You are the closest thing your organization has to a "stove expert". There are very few others in the org that have much stove experience.

    Your job is to try to convince coworkers not to touch a hot stove. You frequently explain to them the pros & cons of touching a hot stove. You constantly show them the ramifications of touching a hot stove.

    But certain folks insist on touching a hot stove anyway.

    This is what it's like to be a #DBA.

  33. Ahsan Hadi's spent 20 years watching the same #Postgres problems hit at the worst time. He built pg-healthcheck for it: 180+ live checks against system catalog views.

    The ask subcommand is the interesting part. Write naturally, it'll pick the right checks & run them. "How safe are we from TXID wraparound?" Ollama by default, no API key, air-gapped. Open source, #PostgreSQL License.

  40. PostgreSQL 19's beta ships "grease mode." The client deliberately sends optional protocol parameters that a correct server must acknowledge and decline, and it aborts the connection if your server, pooler, or proxy mishandles them.

    It is beta-only and reverts before GA. The beta is the one window where these bugs surface, so point a real client stack at Beta 1, not just psql.

  42. #SQLJobCommander (SJC) has been approved for the #Microsoft store here:

    apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n2v

    SJC is a SQL Server® Agent job management tool that delivers familiar SSMS functionality while adding unique capabilities for enhanced job manipulation and control.

    This availability makes me happy as a single hobbyist developer, since I could not justify spending hundreds of $$ on a yearly code signing certificate. Being in the store, Microsoft signs the application so that Smart App Control is not triggered or requiring it to be disabled on a client system.

    Boosts welcome and appreciated.

    I already have plans for the next version.
