E.27. Postgres Pro Enterprise 10.5.2

Release date: 2018-09-17

E.27.1. Overview

This release is based on Postgres Pro Enterprise 10.5.1 and provides the following changes:

  • Implemented the following changes in pgbench:

    • pgbench now supports compound commands.

    • You can now limit the time allotted for transaction retries using the --latency-limit option. If this option is used together with --max-tries set to zero, transactions can be retried as many times as --latency-limit permits.

    • The reported TPS and the number of processed transactions now exclude skipped and failed transactions.

  • Updated pg_pathman module to version 1.4.14 to improve stability.

E.27.2. Migration to Version 10.5.2

If you are upgrading from a Postgres Pro Enterprise version based on the same PostgreSQL major release, it is enough to install the new version into your current installation directory.

Important

When upgrading from versions 10.3.3 or lower, you have to rebuild GiST indexes built over columns of the intarray type, as well as indexes that use mchar or mvarchar types.

To migrate from PostgreSQL, as well as Postgres Pro Standard or Postgres Pro Enterprise based on a previous PostgreSQL major version, see the migration instructions for version 10. If you are opting for a dump/restore, make sure to use the --add-collprovider option to correctly choose the provider for the default collation of the migrated database.
