EDB Postgres Advanced Server 17.3 release notes v17
Released: 13 Feb 2025
EDB Postgres Advanced Server 17.3 includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
Deprecation
With the release of EDB Postgres Advanced Server 17, the DRITA is being deprecated and will not be included in EDB Postgres Advanced Server 18. This decision follows the introduction of EDB’s PWR and edb_wait_states extensions, which offer improved diagnostic capabilities compared to DRITA. These new extensions provide a diagnostic experience more closely aligned with Oracle’s AWR reports, making DRITA obsolete.
Note
The pgAgent and adminpack packages are end of life in EDB Postgres Advanced Server 17 and later.
