Core Capability Upgrades in PostgreSQL 17.0
Enhanced Logical Replication
- Supports logical replication slot failover, retaining slots during major version upgrades (via 'pg_upgrade') to improve data synchronization reliability.
- Optimized batch I/O page read/write for higher efficiency.
- Improved WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) write performance under high concurrency.
- VACUUM adopts a new memory management mechanism, enhancing performance while reducing memory consumption.
- 'pg_basebackup' now supports incremental backups, reducing storage and time costs.
- Added 'transaction_timeout' parameter to enable transaction timeout termination, preventing long-running transaction blocks.
Fine-Grained Multi-Tenant Resource Management
- Resource Isolation: Precisely controls CPU resources at the `database` level, supporting dynamic configuration adjustments (add/delete/upgrade/downgrade).
- Process-Level Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of tenant processes' CPU/memory usage via the 'tencentdb_process_system_usage' view, aiding health assessment.
- SQL Throttling: Limits real-time SQL concurrency based on SQL statements or 'queryid' to prevent resource abuse.
- Option 1: Leverage the self-developed 'cos_fdw' plugin to transparently access cold data (e.g., archived data) stored in COS, achieving storage tiering.
- Option 2: Integrate the 'starocks_fdw' plugin to connect with the StarRocks analytics engine, enabling cold data storage on-premises or in object storage while unifying TP+AP capabilities.
- Express Edition: Meets basic auditing needs with high performance.
- Advanced Edition: Enhances the 'pgaudit' plugin, expanding audit coverage to function execution, object types/names, etc., with performance surpassing native PG full-log auditing.
Balanced Performance & Cost: Cold/hot separation reduces storage costs while supporting hybrid HTAP workloads on a single node.
Maximized Resource Efficiency: Precise resource control in multi-tenant scenarios ensures high utilization and stability.
Strengthened Compliance: Flexible auditing modes adapt to varying security requirements, with significant performance advantages in stress tests.
