SRM supports two different replication technologies, Storage Array or Array-Based Replication and vSphere Replication. One of the key decisions when implementing SRM is which technology to use and for what VMs. The two technologies can be used together in an SRM environment though not to protect the same VM. Given that, what are the differences

It has been a while since the last release of PgBackMan and with this version we hope to start a new period with more frequent releases. This new release implements some new features and fixes some bugs from version 1.1.0. Source files, RPM and DEB files are available at GitHub.

New features

• Add dbname exception field to "register snapshot definition"
• Add dbname exception field to "register backup definitions"
• Possibility of defining multiple snapshots definitions in one command
• Update "show pgbackman config" to show more information
• Define a default backup server in all backup servers inputs.
• Possibility of generating CSV and JSON output with all show_* pgbackman commands
• Refactor the code used to manage command line parameters and define new parameters.
• Automatic compression of cluster type backups if gzip is available.
• New command to move backup definitions between backup servers.
• Add support for postgreSQL 9.6

Migration to 1.2.0

It is very important to check the upgrade procedure to version 1.2.0 in the documentation to avoid problems and errors when and after upgrading to the new version.

Check the section "Upgrading PgBackMan" for more information.

Bugfixes

• "show job queues" view does not show the right domain for pgsql_nodes. Issue:#47
• Backup definitions of type CLUSTER getting DELETE status. Issue:#39

PL/Java brings functions, triggers, and types in Java. 1.5.1, now in beta, adds support for PostgreSQL 9.6 and 10 (beta), with a small number of improvements and fixes.

Project site: http://tada.github.io/pljava/
Release notes: http://tada.github.io/pljava/releasenotes.html

Security note

One previously-announced security issue is addressed in PL/Java 1.5.1, as described in the release notes.

Selected changes

This release introduces support for parallel-safety declarations on functions in PostgreSQL 9.6. Simple cases work as expected, but PL/Java's code has not been thoroughly audited to be sure its internal behavior cannot violate constraints on parallel-restricted or parallel-safe functions. See the release notes and new user-guide page on parallel query. This could be a fruitful area for beta testing.

In PostgreSQL 10, trigger transition tables are supported for AFTER triggers, as described in the release notes.

Notable changes have also been made for the benefit of maintainers of prebuilt PL/Java packages for software distributions. They allow the build to be tailored appropriately with options on the mvn command line and no need to patch the source. One of these allows a working default for pljava.libjvm_location to be built in, when packaging for a distribution that has a known, conventional location for Java. An entire section for package maintainers has been added to the build docs.

Please see the release notes for a more complete list of changes.

Availability

1.5.1-BETA1 is available from GitHub as a source release, which builds quickly using Maven:
