New Community Version of PostgreSQL 9.6 Boosts Performance with Parallel Query and Vertical and Horizontal Scalability FeaturesBEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EnterpriseDB® (EDB™), the leading enterprise Postgres database company, congratulates the PostgreSQL Global Development Group for the newly released PostgreSQL 9.6. The new 9.6 version features parallel processing capabilities and expands scale up and scale out capacity to support more complex workloads and data infrastructures distributed across multiple or remote data sources. "Members of EDB's staff worked as part of the PostgreSQL Community to develop performance advances for PostgreSQL 9.6 that will extract greater efficiency from today's hardware for larger and more complex workloads," said Marc Linster, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Product Development. "Based on contributions from EDB and the community at large, PostgreSQL 9.6 will benefit EDB customers that require parallel processing." Advances in PostgreSQL 9.6 move the database deeper into analytics, addressing long-time bottlenecks that have made it difficult to run PostgreSQL on larger data sets. Enhancements to the freeze map, for example, allow PostgreSQL to scale up further than ever before, while new parallel query facilities make it possible to use multiple CPU cores to accelerate response times for queries that touch a lot of data. Expanded replication capabilities make it possible to build a truly reliable multi-node read scaling cluster based on PostgreSQL. Full-text searching enhancements help make PostgreSQL more effective with document stores and now supports the ability to search for words based on proximity, which helps lexical and forensic applications. Scalability Enhancements Scalability enhancements to PostgreSQL 9.6 that improve performance include:
