EDB Webinar: What’s New in PostgreSQL 15

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group announced the release of PostgreSQL 15 on October 13. PostgreSQL 15 builds on the performance improvements of recent releases with noticeable gains for managing workloads in both local and distributed deployments, including improved sorting. This release improves the developer experience with the addition of the popular MERGE command, and adds more capabilities for observing the state of the database.

Now that this release has been out for a few weeks, EDB would like to share some of the biggest features, as well as some hidden gems that you may not have noticed. In this on-demand 30-minute webinar, Lætitia Avrot, EDB field CTO, and Bruce Momjian, EDB VP, Postgres evangelist explore what’s new in 15 and answer some questions.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

Postgres log changes (default changes, new JSON format)
Logical replication changes (add all the tables from a schema, row filter)
MERGE SQL command
HEADER clause for a COPY command
Public schema changes
End of exclusive backups
Some features that didn’t quite make the release
