- The planned date for the general availability of PostgreSQL 18 is - September 25, 2025. + PostgreSQL 18 improves performance for workloads of all sizes through + a new I/O subsystem that has demonstrated up to 3× performance + improvements when reading from storage, and also increases the number + of queries that can use indexes. This release makes major-version + upgrades less disruptive, accelerating upgrade times and reducing the + time required to reach expected performance after an upgrade + completes. Developers also benefit from PostgreSQL 18 features, + including virtual generated columns that compute values at query time, + and the database-friendly uuidv7() function that provides + better indexing and read performance for UUIDs. PostgreSQL 18 makes it + easier to integrate with single-sign on (SSO) systems with support for + OAuth 2.0 authentication. +

+

+ For the full list of features in PostgreSQL 18, please review the + release notes. You can download + PostgreSQL 18 from the download page. +
