PostgreSQL's `bytea_output` parameter controls how binary data is formatted when sent to clients: the modern `hex` format (default since 9.0) or the legacy…
PostgreSQL's Bonjour parameters let you advertise a server on the local network via Apple's service-discovery protocol—a clever 2002 idea that hasn't aged well.
PostgreSQL 19 beta arrives with four operational game-changers: 64-bit MultiXact Members kill a decades-old "vacuum or die" failure mode, parallel autovacuum…
A parameter you cannot change. block_size lives in the “Preset Options” section of the docs, alongside its read-only cousins like data_checksums, wal_block_size
These two parameters close out the bgwriter cluster. Together with bgwriter_delay, they govern how the background writer decides what to write each round, and t
The B cluster shifts gears: from one-off oddities to the background writer parameters, which span four GUCs. We do the first two as a pair because bgwriter_dela
PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are out as of May 14, 2026. The release fixes eleven security issues and more than sixty bugs. That is not a typ

Two remote code execution bugs lived in pgcrypto for twenty years until an AI fuzzer found them in a weekend. Here's what you need to know.
Debug PostgreSQL errors by capturing C-level stack traces for specific internal functions.
