Description

Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server is the only major cloud PaaS service that provides the timescaleDB extension that provides time-series functionality, built on top of Postgres. We are also adding orafce to Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server, designed to enhance Postgres with additional functions and operators. This extension can be helpful if you’re migrating from other databases to Postgres. Another extension added, pg_repack, lets you remove bloat from tables and indexes, and optionally restore the physical order of clustered indexes.
