Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL documentation.

Welcome to Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL documentation!

Overview

Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is a collection of tools to assist you in managing your PostgreSQL database system. It includes Percona Server for PostgreSQL and a selection of extensions that enable solving essential practical tasks efficiently.

Percona Server for PostgreSQL is an open source binary-compatible drop-in replacement for PostgreSQL Community. Percona Server for PostgreSQL introduces additional features to the upstream server, including:

  • Storage Manager (SMGR) API Exposure: Allows PostgreSQL extensions to integrate custom storage managers. This change was inspired by the patchset introduced to the community.
  • WAL Read/Write API Exposure to hook into WAL read and write functions.

Percona Server and upstream PostgreSQL function identically enabling you to migrate from one to another.
