PostgreSQL v9.4features

Performance, Reliability, Flexibility –Pick Any Three!

•JSONB-jsonBinary Storage
•Replication improvements-Replication Slots
•Logical Decoding in WAL log
•Time Lagging Replica
•pg_prewarm
•ALTER SYSTEM Command
•Great new enhancements in aggregation features

Wasn’t JSON was introduced in v9.2? Well it just got better
JSONB is much more optimized and faster for lookup
New functions to extract and manipulate the jsondata
You have the flexibility without compromising on Reliability!
Non-relational data with ACID compliance!

row_to_json–to convert a row to json
json_object–Create jsonobject out of text array
json_build_object–Create jsonobject out of variadicargument list
array_to_json–to converan array to JSON
json_eachand json_each_text–convert jsonobjects in key-value pair
json_extract_path-Get value of a jsonobject
json_populate_recordand json_populate_recordset-Convert jsonobject to records

Do all of these key/elementstringsexist?

select data from Table as a jsonobject-
SELECT
JSON_BUILD_OBJECT( 'name',name)
FROM books;
Convert a row to json
SELECT ROW_TO_JSON(my_row)
FROM ( SELECT ROW(books.*)
FROM books )my_row;

Select output of join as a jsonobject-
SELECT JSON_BUILD_OBJECT( 'name', name, 'author', name_arr)
FROM(
SELECT ARRAY_AGG( a.name ) AS name_arr, b.name AS name
FROM authors a JOIN author_book_mapab ON a.id=ab.author_id
JOIN books b ON b.id=ab.book_id
GROUP BY b.name ) books_authors_join;

Now you need to guess “wal_keep_segment” to avoid walfiles from getting removed
Simply create a replication slot and WAL which are yet not replicated to the slot will not be removed from live WAL location
Time Lagging Replica-You can define a lag period for your replica
This can be used for back-dated reporting
Or recover from a user error –an accidentally dropped table or a truncated table

Set WAL level to ‘logical’ to do more verbose recoding in WAL files
This will also record table and relation level details in each WAL entry
These WAL files can be used for logical decoding and logical replication to replicate changes on a particular table
There are commercial and open source solutions which are in beta stage and are based on this approach

ALTER SYSTEM Command-Now a DBA can alter the configuration with ALTER SYSTEM command and avoid changing it in postgresql.conf
pg_prewarm-now a DBA can load certain relations and blocks in cache after startup and avoid performance issues due to cold-reboot
