It’s been a big year for open source relational database PostgreSQL. Stack Overflow developers named it the Most Wanted Database in 2021 and DB-Engines named it the Database Management System of the Year for the third time.

The New Stack spoke with Umair Shahid, the head of PostgreSQL at enterprise database performance software provider Percona, as well as chair of the PostgreSQL code of conduct committee, lead of the user groups in Islamabad and Dubai, and part of the user group committee for the U.S. PostgreSQL Association (PgUS).

Similarly, when data is deleted and a vacuum runs, before 14, PostgreSQL marked that data as to be deleted and then waits for the next round of vacuuming to actually free up the space.

But in the cases that it is needed, it provides for a lot of convenience.
