Released: 22 Aug 2024

New features, enhancements, bug fixes, and other changes in Replication Server 7.9.0 include the following:

TypeDescriptionTicket
EnhancementEDB Postgres Replication Server now supports batch replication for Oracle CLOB and BLOB types in Synchronize mode. This significantly reduces the time required to replicate a large number of row changes containing CLOB/BLOB type columns.#102185
#35513
EnhancementThe transaction commit timestamp from the origin node is now preserved when replicating to a target node. This is required to process the timestamp-based UPDATE conflicts when EDB Postgres Replication Server is used in a hybrid cluster where the EPRS Publication node is shared with EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD).
Bug fixFixed a corner case issue where the synchronization from the target MMR node failed to resume.#102604
#35539
Bug fixFixed an issue where some of the processed entries in the rrep_tx_monitor table weren't cleaned up.
