PostgreSQL Maestro SQL Maestro Group is happy to announce the release of PostgreSQL Maestro 17.8, a powerful Windows GUI solution for PostgreSQL administration and database development.

Please consider the list of new features implemented in this version since the last official release:

New feature highlights:

  • This version of the software has been successfully tested with all the modern database server versions up to PostgreSQL 10 Beta 3 (the latest PostgreSQL version available at the moment).
  • Support for a number of PostgreSQL 10 new features has been implemented as follows:
    • Support for the native table partitioning has been added (PostgreSQL 10). Partitioning refers to splitting what is logically one large table into smaller physical pieces.

      To create a partitioned table, turn ON the appropriate checkbox, then specify the partitioning strategy (Range or List) and the partition key at the Properties tab of Create Table Wizard.

      You can optionally create partitions together with the partitioned table. To do so, switch to the Partitions tab at the third wizard step, then add partitions using the appropriate command from the popup menu.

      To add a new partition to an existing table, open Table Editor, switch to the Partitions tab, then use the "Create New Partition" command at the editor navigation bar or the corresponding item in the partition list's popup menu.

    • Support for restrictive row level security policies has been implemented (the previous versions of PostgreSQL support only permissive policies). By creating restrictive policies, administrators can reduce the set of records which can be accessed as all restrictive policies must be passed for each record.
