Administration of Different Versions of PostgreSQL

Different versions of PostgreSQL have their own characteristics, which our specialists take into account. At DBServ, we provide full support for legacy versions, assist with their modernization, and offer consulting on migration.

Functionality and Updates Support

  • New Versions: These include advanced features, improved performance, and optimized query and indexing capabilities. When administering new versions, special attention is paid to configuring new features and monitoring their effectiveness.
  • Old Versions: They may have performance limitations and supported functionality. We ensure stable operation by applying patches and ensuring compatibility with the applications in use.

Performance and Query Optimization

  • Latest Versions: Often provide enhanced query optimization capabilities, such as advanced index types (e.g., BRIN and GiST) and parallel query optimization. When administering new versions, we configure settings for maximum performance.
  • Old Versions: Older versions require a more detailed approach to query optimization to compensate for the absence of some modern features. We utilize indexing, buffer settings, and query plan optimization to improve performance.

Backup and Recovery

  • New Versions: Include advanced capabilities for backup and recovery, such as logical replication and incremental backups. This helps reduce downtime and accelerate the data recovery process.
  • Old Versions: Backup support is limited, but we offer solutions that allow for data preservation at minimal cost and ensure reliable recovery in case of failures.

Extension Support and Customization

  • Latest Versions: Support numerous additional extensions, such as PostGIS and HStore, and allow for flexible database customization. We can configure and integrate necessary extensions for maximum functionality.
  • Old Versions: The ability to install extensions is limited, so we offer alternative solutions for customization and ensuring compatibility with applications.

Compatibility and Migration

  • Migration to a New Version: This process involves careful planning and preparation. We ensure seamless upgrades, minimizing downtime and protecting data.
  • Cloud Migration and Back: We assess cloud platform capabilities, analyze compatibility, and develop a migration plan with minimal downtime.
  • Application Compatibility: When working with different versions of PostgreSQL, it is important to consider compatibility with the applications and infrastructure in use to avoid conflicts and failures.

Security Settings

  • Latest Versions: Include new methods for encryption, authentication, and access management. We configure all modern security features to protect data and prevent unauthorized access.
  • Old Versions: We enhance security by setting up roles, using network filters, and backing up data. If necessary, additional security measures, such as external protection systems, can be integrated.

Replication and Fault Tolerance

  • New Versions: Feature improved replication, including logical and streaming replication. We configure replication to ensure business continuity and fault tolerance.
  • Old Versions: Replication may be limited for older versions of PostgreSQL. We apply proven methods, such as physical replication and clustering, to ensure data stability and availability.

Updates and Patches

  • New Versions: Regular updates and patches are released to improve performance and security. We monitor the timely application of updates to keep your database current.
  • Old Versions: Despite the cessation of official support for some older versions, we ensure stability through testing and applying compatible fixes.
