PostgreSQL 16 JSON Data Type Enhancements for Better Query Performance PostgreSQL 16 introduced several enhancements to the JSON data type constructor, which is used to create JSON data structures in the database. Some of the […]
PostgreSQL data types in JSONB PostgreSQL Data Types in JSONB allows you to store arbitrary JSON data in a structured format. This can be useful for storing data that does not fit neatly into a […]
PostgreSQL uses a “multi-version concurrency control” (MVCC) approach to ensure that shared locks don’t starve requests for exclusive or update locks. Under MVCC, each transaction works with a “snapshot” of the database state at a […]

PostgreSQL 15 introduced a new feature called “asynchronous commit”, which can help reduce replication lag by allowing multiple transactions to be committed concurrently. This feature works by allowing the server to continue processing new transactions […]
Thread contention in PostgreSQL occurs when multiple threads are competing for the same resources, such as CPU time, disk I/O, or database locks. This can lead to performance degradation, slower response times, and even database […]
In PostgreSQL, the catalog tables are system tables that store metadata information about the database objects such as tables, indexes, functions, and users. The catalog tables can be used to troubleshoot contention issues by providing […]
