Thread: Diferences between mimalloc and regular releases?

Diferences between mimalloc and regular releases?

I am looking into the best version of the ODBC to install in a current system (windows server 2019 to a posgres 17 server). I've seen on the relelases site here (https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/releases/), that there are two different versions of the odbc:
- standard one
- mimalloc for better memory management

Are there any inconvenients with the mimalloc version or should be the preferred in case of doubt?

Please ask the question on github. You will likely get a better answer there as the author of mimalloc will see it
