Release date: 2016-12-14
This release is based on Postgres Pro 9.6.1.1 and upstream PostgreSQL patches.
Major enhancements over Postgres Pro 9.6.1.1 include:
Several modules to support 1C Enterprise added:
mchar (See Section F.29)
fulleq (See Section F.19)
fasttrun (See Section F.17)
online_analyze (See Section F.31)
plantuner (See Section F.51)
Also, following core changes were added to support 1C:
Application level locks
Optimization of range conditions in the WHERE clause
Modules has been updated
pg_pathman to version 1.2.2 (See Section F.38)
Backup manager pg_arman has been replaced to pg_probackup (Version 1.0).
A dump/restore using pg_dumpall, or use of pg_upgrade, is required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous major release.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 9.6.1.1.
However, if you are upgrading from vanilla PostgreSQL 9.6.x, some catalog changes should be applied.
If you use binary packages, and your database is in the default
location, this upgrade should be performed automatically. If you've
compiled Postgres Pro from source or create your database in
non-default location, running initdb manually, you
should run pgpro_upgrade script provided in this
distribution.
Before running script, you should stop postgres service. Script should be run as user, owning the database (typically postgres) and PGDATA environment variable should be set to the directory where database resides.
