This update delivers PostgreSQL 9.6.3 to the SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 codebase.
Major enhancements in PostgreSQL 9.6 include:
- Parallel execution of sequential scans, joins and aggregates
- Avoid scanning pages unnecessarily during vacuum freeze operations
- Synchronous replication now allows multiple standby servers for increased reliability
- Full-text search can now search for phrases (multiple adjacent words)
- postgres_fdw now supports remote joins, sorts, UPDATEs, and DELETEs
- Substantial performance improvements, especially in the area of scalability on multi-CPU-socket
servers.
Version 9.6 contains a number of changes that may affect compatibility with previous releases.
Please refer to https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release-9-6.html for a comprehensive
list of changes.
The existing client libraries libecpg6 and libpq5 are now taken from the postgresql96 build instead
of the postgresql94 build.
