INSERT…ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE syntax

•  Speed up queries on large tables with new Block Range Indexes (BRIN)

•  Easily re-sync database cluster machines with pg_rewind

•  Modify JSONB data with new operators and functions

•  Automate schema creation for Foreign Data Wrappers using IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA syntax

Feature Highlights for Postgres Advanced 9.5

•  Secure access to your database with password profiles

•  Scale to more users with improvements to locking subsystems

•  Higher performance bulk loading with EDB Loader FREEZE keyword

•  Continued improvements around for database compatibility for Oracle (12th Generation)

Postgres Advanced Server

Focus on Security, Scalability, and Enterprise Readiness


Enable PCI DSS compliance and security conscious applications

Secure Access to your Database with Password Profiles

•  Passwords profiles operate securely in the database. They allow you to: −  Limit password re-use −  Define rules for password complexity −  Mark a password for expiration −  Track failed login attempts −  Lock an account for a specified period of time

•  Using profiles −  DBA managed and assignable to Users, Roles, Groups −  Explicit commands to Lock/Unlock/Expire a profile −  Compatible with Oracle profiles


Sample Profiles

Secure Access to your Database with Password Profiles

•  After 5 incorrect login attempts, lock account for 6 hours (1/4 of a day) −  CREATE PROFILE acctg LIMIT

FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS 5 PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME .25;

•  Change password every 90 days and provide a 3 day grace period before account is locked. −  CREATE PROFILE sales LIMIT

PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME 90 PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME 3;

•  Ensure complexity rules are followed when choosing a password −  CREATE PROFILE partners LIMIT

PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION partner_password_rules;


Incorporate Application & Middle Tier Information in Database Audit Logs

More Comprehensive Forensics with Audit Log Tagging

•  EDB Postgres Advanced Server provides an audit log capability −  Use edb_audit and related configuration parameters in

postgresql.conf to enable.

•  The new edb_audit_tag feature provides a mechanism for applications to store additional information in the audit log


Example

More Comprehensive Forensics with Audit Log Tagging

$ psql –U app1 -d edb

edb=# alter session set edb_audit_tag=’UserName FromApplication’; ALTER SESSION

edb=# create table test (a number); ERROR: relation “test” already exists

$ cat audit-2016-01-21_145111.xml

<event user=”app1" database="edb" remote_host="[local]” session_id="56a06f4f.c624" process_id="50724" time="2016-01-21 14:51:11 EST” transaction_id="0" type="error" audit_tag=”UserName FromApplication”> <message>ERROR: relation “test” already exists</message> </event>


Write Workloads Where Data Fits In Shared Buffers

Scale to More Users

pgbench –M prepared (Read/Write workload)

Median of 3 30-minute runs, scale_factor=300 (~4.5 gb workload), max_connections = 200, shared_buffers = 8gb

8 CPU / 64 Core / 128 Threads, 500 GB RAM

25% improvement at 48 concurrent connections (peak performance in 9.4) 115% improvement at 128 concurrent connections


Write Workloads Where Data Is Larger Than Shared Buffers

Scale to More Users

pgbench –M prepared (Read/Write workload)

Median of 3 30-minute runs, scale_factor=1000 (~15 gb workload), max_connections = 200, shared_buffers = 8gb

8 CPU / 64 Core / 128 Threads, 500 GB RAM

10% improvement at 48 concurrent connections (peak performance in 9.4) 20% improvement at 80 concurrent connections (peak performance in 9.5)


Minimize Impact of Migrations

Expanded Compatibility with Oracle

•  Profiles for Passwords •  EDB*Loader: new FREEZE and ZONED options •  Packages and Functions:

−  UTL_RAW: manipulation of raw data types −  DBMS_SESSION: ability to enable and disable roles −  UTL_HTTP: WRITE_LINE, WRITE_TEXT

•  Hierarchical Queries: new SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH option

•  SELECT… FOR UPDATE WAIT n Syntax: −  If an UPDATE, DELETE or SELECT FOR UPDATE from

another session has already locked row, this specifies behavior of this session
