PostgreSQL 17 packs big performance and feature enhancements


This latest release of the popular open-source DBMS delivers incremental backups, replication, and JSON tables among other improvements.

This should reduce storage requirements and recovery times, making it particularly valuable for enterprise database environments where full backups are time-consuming and resource-intensive. "Our work on PostgreSQL 17," noted Jozef de Vries, chief product engineering officer of EnterpriseDB, a leading PostgresSQL company, "underscores a belief that Postgres isn't just a database -- it's a data platform supporting your most critical business systems. As organizations rely increasingly on data-driven decision-making and AI applications, the enhancements in this release are likely to cement PostgreSQL's position as a go-to DBMS for modern database needs.
