PostgreSQL 16 Beta Now Available
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has announced that the first beta release of PostgreSQL 16 is now available for download and testing.
PostgreSQL 16 includes performance improvements in query execution, adds several new monitoring features, and provides security enhancements. “PostgreSQL 16 can also improve the performance of concurrent bulk loading of data using COPY up to 300 percent.” the announcement states.
This release previews all the features that will be available when PostgreSQL 16 is made generally available, although details may change during the beta period.
The PostgreSQL Project will release additional betas as required for testing, followed by one or more release candidates, until the final release in late 2023.
