   An update that contains security fixes can now be installed.

Description:


   This update for brings postgresql10 version 10.5 to SUSE Linux Enterprise
   12 SP3. (FATE#325659 bnc#1108308)

   This release marks the change of the versioning scheme for PostgreSQL to a
   "x.y" format. This means the next minor releases of PostgreSQL will be
   10.1, 10.2, ... and the next major release will be 11.

   * Logical Replication

   Logical replication extends the current replication features of PostgreSQL
   with the ability to send modifications on a per-database and per-table
   level to different PostgreSQL databases. Users can now fine-tune the data
   replicated to various database clusters and will have the ability to
   perform zero-downtime upgrades to future major PostgreSQL versions.

   * Declarative Table Partitioning

   Table partitioning has existed for years in PostgreSQL but required a user
   to maintain a nontrivial set of rules and triggers for the partitioning to
   work. PostgreSQL 10 introduces a table partitioning syntax that lets users
   easily create and maintain range and list partitioned tables.

   * Improved Query Parallelism

   PostgreSQL 10 provides better support for parallelized queries by allowing
   more parts of the query execution process to be parallelized. Improvements
   include additional types of data scans that are parallelized as well as
   optimizations when the data is recombined, such as pre-sorting. These
   enhancements allow results to be returned more quickly.

   * Quorum Commit for Synchronous Replication

   PostgreSQL 10 introduces quorum commit for synchronous replication, which
   allows for flexibility in how a primary database receives acknowledgement
   that changes were successfully written to remote replicas.
