  1. As backend and DevOps engineer / SRM, I want to be able to visualize in Grafana metrics related to WAL files buildup due to lagging or missing replication slots.
    This will help us debug WAL bloat which might exhaust the disk space and better understand the cause.

    Mainly the metric filecount_size_bytes will be useful. Also any metric that would allow us to monitor per database service:
    1. Total WAL size.
    2. Size of WAL retained due to replication lag.
    3. Rate in which we consume the WAL for the replication over time (connector consumption rate).
    4. Rate in which we…

  2. As a DBA or developer,
    I want to be able to stop/start my services without losing replication slots
    so that I can resume my logical replication flows even after a power cycle.

    Similar recreation is currently done during nodes failover: https://aiven.io/blog/aiven-for-pg-recreates-logical-replication-slots

  3. As a database administrator or developer,
    I would like to be able to change the behavior of the MySQL Optimizer at the global level by changing the variable of the optimizerswitch with values such as "indexmergeintersection=off" or "preferordering_index=off",
    so that I would be able to optimize my query performance.

  4. Make it possible to change the default SSL mode.
    This way, by setting this value to "verify-full", we can make it so that anyone trying to connect to the database MUST have the CA certificate.

    Because currently, what's the point of the CA certificate if it is not mandatory?

  5. As DBA I want to have better logging using the PostgreSQL v15 logging feature to save the logs in JSON format so that I can integrate these logs in OpenSearch and provide better readability of these logs.

    This will provide 2 things:
    1 - Parse of the fields of the log entries -> give more capabilities searching the logs - easily filter some field like user/database/application name
    2 - Multi line queries in one log entry -> right now, multi line queries saves each line in a different log entry, which is very hard to filter a full query since…

  6. As a MySQL user
    I want to tune my service parameters according to best practises (in this case parameter joinbuffersize)
    so that I can make my application performance better as I cannot use indexes
    In addition, it might be useful to be able some other parameters mentioned here (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_join_buffer_size)

  8. As a database administrator or developer, I would like to have H3 Hexagonal Hierarchical Geospatial Indexing System in PostgreSQL via h3-pg extension so that I can efficiently index and analyze geospatial data, including creating heatmaps and performing various spatial analyses, enhancing location-based decision-making for applications and services.

  9. As developer or DBA
    I want to be able to reproduce the behavior of Oracle Autonomous Transaction inside Postgres.
    so that I can create a different transaction that is not impacting the current one. Use case can be logging for example),
    In addition, this can be achieved using DBLinks but it requires to put the password inside a plSQL function. To avoid that, Aiven could have a new parameter allowing local connections without password.

  11. As developer using Cassandra for analytics workloads,
    I want to be able to create a custom Spark application,
    so that I can read and write large amounts of data from Cassandra.
    The Cassandra current APIs aren't designed for large scale data egress/ingest.

  12. As someone running production workloads against Aiven for Cassandra,
    I want to have more control over management of the keyspaces in my database,
    so that I can adapt more quickly to changing workloads and meet internal criteria relating to levels of control for adopting an external service.

  15. As a database admin, using internaltmpmemstorageengine=TempTable (default), I would like the temptablemaxram size to be adjusted to the plan and not use the default value of 1G.

    When using the new default TempTable engine for temporary tables the setting temptablemaxram=1G (default) controls the max. amount of memory for ALL temporary tables.

    "The setting temptablemaxram controls how much is available to ALL temporary tables before converting to an on-disk table. Looking at our 50 queries example earlier, say each one needs 256MB of memory. With the default setting of 1GB, the…

  18. Since pgrouting 3.4 the function pgr_trspVia is available.

    Given a list of vertices and a graph, this function is equivalent to finding the shortest path between vertex(i) and vertex(i+1) for all i < sizeof(vertices) trying not to use restricted paths.

    The paths represents the sections of the route.

    The general algorithm is as follows:

    Execute a pgrdijkstraVia - Proposed.
    For the set of sub paths of the solution that pass through a restriction then
    Execute the TRSP algorithm with restrictions for the paths.
    NOTE when this is done, U
    turnonedge flag is ignored.

  20. As a database administrator, I want to have the option to use the PGroonga extension so that I can take advantage of advanced text search capabilities, including full-text search with regular expressions and n-gram tokenization.
    In addition, PGroonga offers better performance for certain types of search operations, which is especially important for handling large datasets efficiently and improving the search functionality in applications.
