Dec 1, 2025December 2025 — crate/crate: Focused delivery of deterministic session timing control with the pg_sleep function. This feature enables pausing a session for a specified duration, improving control over SQL query timing and enabling reproducible testing and workload simulations. The work closes issue #18194 (commit b52cbeff1c5774aeba48475060eb1d50bf86b565) and includes collaboration with Kenneth Geisshirt. No major bugs fixed for this repository this month. Impact: deterministic session pacing reduces timing variance in tests and benchmarks, aiding stability in CI and production workloads. Technologies/skills: PostgreSQL-compatible function development, Rust/extension development patterns, Git collaboration, precise commit messaging and issue referencing.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for crate/crate: Delivered a focused documentation feature clarifying JDBC compatibility between CrateDB and PostgreSQL drivers. The update documents limitations of specific PostgreSQL JDBC driver versions when used with CrateDB, including that metadata methods such as getTables() may not function with CrateDB 5.x under certain JDBC versions, and it recommends an alternative driver version to ensure compatibility. This work reduces integration risk for users and supports smoother adoption of CrateDB in JDBC-based applications.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 — Implemented a fix for indnkeyatts population in pg_index for composite primary keys and added a regression test to verify behavior. This work enhances catalog correctness and stability for composite PK scenarios, reducing the risk of incorrect metadata and query planning issues. The change was scoped to crate/crate with a primary commit and supported by regression coverage.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Delivered PostgreSQL-compatible statistics enhancements by introducing stddev_pop as a dedicated aggregate and aliasing stddev to stddev_pop. Updated documentation and function registration to reflect the change, and laid groundwork to alias stddev to stddev_samp in a future release. This strengthens analytics capabilities and improves consistency for users migrating from PostgreSQL.
