PostgreSQL 9.6.1 and speedier connection
The main grid database have had another round of updates, this time moving PostgreSQL to version 9.6.1 which brings a number of bug fixes and updates.
The grid is again connected to a speedier connection. The initial line speed is 50/50 Mbit/sec, but the provider can go to bi-directional 1 Gb if needed.
Formally the grid is still closed, but it is again possible to HG teleport to single regions.
Database upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.6
The grid database has successfully been upgraded from PostgreSQL version 9.4 to 9.6. This is a major upgrade with functionality for parallel queries, better replication technology for both scalability and failover, better text search with support for searching phrases in addition to “hybrid searches” combining relational, JSON, and full text searching
This comes in addition to improvements in version 9.5 with support of features such as UPSERT, row level security and support for much bigger data sets better indexing and faster sorts.
UPSERT means the OpenSim code supporting PostgreSQL can be simplified.
