- TO BE ADDED
+ Stored procedures can now return data via OUT
+ parameters.
+
+
+
+
+ The SQL-standard SEARCH
+ and CYCLE options for common table expressions
+ have been implemented.
+
+
+
+
+ Subscripting can now be applied to any data type for which
+ it is a useful notation, not only arrays. In this release,
+ the jsonb and hstore types have gained
+ subscripting operators.
+
+
+
+
+ Range types have been extended by adding multiranges, allowing
+ representation of noncontiguous data ranges.
+
+
+
+
+ Numerous performance improvements have been made for parallel
+ queries, heavily-concurrent workloads, partitioned tables, logical
+ replication, and vacuuming.
+
+
+
+
+ B-tree index updates are managed more efficiently, reducing index
+ bloat.
+
+
+
+
+ VACUUM automatically becomes more aggressive, and
+ skips inessential cleanup, if the database starts to approach a
+ transaction ID wraparound condition.
+
+
+
+
+ Extended statistics can now be collected on expressions, allowing
+ better planning results for complex queries.
+
+
+
+
+
libpq now has the ability to pipeline
+ multiple queries, which can boost throughput over high-latency
+ connections.
