Upcoming PostgreSQL 9.6 Features

About:

This talk explores the new features coming in the next PostgreSQL release. As every release is different, this talk changes to reflect that. Here are some of the highlights that will be covered:

1. Parallel execution of sequential scans, joins and aggregates
2. Avoid scanning pages unnecessarily during vacuum freeze
   operations
3. Synchronous replication now allows multiple standby servers
   for increased reliability
4. Full-text search can now search for phrases (multiple
   adjacent words)
5. postgres_fdw now supports remote joins, sorts, UPDATEs,
   and DELETEs
6. Substantial performance improvements, especially in the
   area of scalability on multi-CPU-socket servers
7. New monitoring capabilities
8. Allow limiting of snapshot age
9. Allow sessions with long-idle transactions to be terminated
