EDB Postgres Advanced Server 17.5 release notes v17
Released: 09 May 2025
EDB Postgres Advanced Server 17.5 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.

|---|---|---|
| Upstream merge | Merged with community PostgreSQL 17.5. This release includes a fix for CVE-2025-4207. See the PostgreSQL 17.5 Release Notes for more information. | |
| Bug fix | Modified SUBSTRB() to accept clipped slices, aligning its behavior with Redwood by allowing incomplete character boundaries and improving compatibility. | #45636 |
| Bug fix | Fixed the alteruser utility to set the encoding correctly to avoid a possible server crash. | |
| Bug fix | Fixed the behavior of edb_dynatune to ensure it functions as expected. | #45385 |
| Bug fix | Fixed the definition of the sys.*_scheduler_jobs views in dbms_scheduler to populate previously missing column values, and bumped the extension version to reflect the change. | #48375 |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue in dbms_job where jobs with identical start times caused dba_jobs and user_jobs views to return incorrect results by updating the view definitions. Also, bumped the extension version to reflect the change. | #38664 |
| Bug fix | Fixed computation of nullingrels in Redwood-style left joins, which previously caused errors such as wrong varnullingrels (b) (expected (b 10)) for Var 3/2. | #42059 |
