PostgreSQL 15 Released - What's New

 The long awaited release of the most popular advanced open source database is finally here carrying many bells and whistles. It includes performance improvements on managing workloads in both local and distributed deployments and enchantments that will also make the developers out there happy.



Let's start with the highlight of the release, which arrived on October 13, the introduction of the MERGE statement. It's not just a more convenient way of doing SELECT followed by UPDATE/INSERT, an operation that would be transmitting the selected rows over the network and keeping the rows in-memory on the client side. With MERGE, you now keep the rows in-memory on the server without incurring the network penalty.

Greenplum's Cloudberry Fork Enters Apache Incubator

  Cloudberry is the open source equivalent of Greenplum. Now it is fostered by the Apache Foundation as it acquires incubating status. It all began about six months ago. Greenplum's Github repositories was archived and went dark. This meant no more free new releases or security and bug fixes for its users. Why? Because in May 2024, Tanzu made the decision to close-source the project. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/17694-greenplums-cloudberry-fork-enters-apache-incubator-.html
