Simplify PostgreSQL Query Design

May 12, 2026

dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL V2026.1 introduces a new visual Query Builder that makes complex SQL easier to create and manage.

dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL by Devart is a comprehensive IDE (Integrated Development Environment) designed to simplify database management, development, and administration for PostgreSQL users. It provides a user-friendly interface and a robust set of tools for tasks such as SQL editing, query building, data import/export, and schema comparison. Key features include an advanced code editor with syntax highlighting, a visual query builder, and database synchronization tools, making it easier to optimize workflows and ensure data integrity. Ideal for developers, database administrators, and analysts, it streamlines complex processes, enhances productivity, and supports efficient database management across various use cases, from small-scale projects to enterprise-level solutions.

The dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL V2026.1 release adds a new fully-fledged visual Query builder making it easier to create and refine complex SQL queries through an intuitive graphical interface. By allowing users to visually design joins, filters, sorting, and query structures without relying entirely on manual coding, the feature helps reduce errors, speeds up query development, and makes advanced SQL more accessible to a broader range of users. It also provides a clearer view of query logic and relationships, which can simplify troubleshooting, and support faster database analysis and reporting workflows.

Diagnose Issues Quickly with Query Plan Comparison

May 6, 2026

Redgate Monitor v14.14.0 adds Query Plan Compare for PostgreSQL, enabling side-by-side analysis of execution plans over time.

Redgate Monitor (formerly known as SQL Monitor) is a database monitoring tool that helps users quickly identify and fix performance problems on a variety of platforms, including SQL Server and PostgreSQL. It provides real-time monitoring, alerting, root cause analysis, and performance tuning recommendations. Redgate Monitor can be used by DBAs, developers, and operations teams to improve the performance of their databases.

The Redgate Monitor v14.14.0 update introduces Query Plan Comparison for PostgreSQL, enabling developers to analyze execution plans side-by-side and identify changes that impact query performance. By providing clear visibility into differences in cost, execution time, and plan structure, the feature helps isolate the root cause of regressions more efficiently. It also allows teams to correlate plan changes with performance trends over time, improving understanding of how database behavior evolves.

To see a full list of what's new in v14.14.0 see our release notes.

Redgate Monitor is licensed per server on an annual subscription basis. Each Server License will enable you to monitor either 1 Server (Multiple instances), 5 Azure SQL Databases, 1 Cloud (PaaS) instance, or 1 Cluster node. See our Redgate Monitor licensing page for full details.

See Anomalies with Real-Time Performance Patterns

April 14, 2026

Redgate Monitor helps you analyze performance over time with wait event visualization to detect anomalies and troubleshoot issues faster.

Redgate Monitor gives developers continuous visibility into database performance by presenting wait events as a time based visualization, enabling a clearer understanding of normal system behavior and making deviations easier to identify as they occur. By showing how performance changes over time rather than at a single point, it supports faster and more accurate troubleshooting, helping developers determine when issues start and how they progress. It also allows navigation from a high level cluster view to detailed analysis of specific instances or time periods, improving both real time monitoring and retrospective investigation within PostgreSQL environments.

Detect Aurora PostgreSQL Issues Faster

March 19, 2026

Redgate Monitor supports Aurora PostgreSQL, giving database teams visibility into performance metrics and alerts.

Redgate Monitor supports Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, allowing database teams to track the performance, availability, and health of Aurora clusters alongside other database platforms from a single monitoring dashboard. The integration provides visibility into key metrics and alerts, helping teams detect issues, understand workload behavior, and maintain stable database operations. By monitoring Aurora PostgreSQL, Redgate Monitor makes it easier for organizations running cloud and hybrid environments to manage database performance within one monitoring platform.

Improve Database Troubleshooting Across Servers

March 6, 2026

The AimBetter March 2026 update helps you apply filters across the entire server environment to quickly focus on the alerts that matter most.

AimBetter is a comprehensive performance monitoring and optimization platform designed for database management systems (DBMS). It provides real-time diagnostics and analytics, allowing IT professionals to identify and resolve performance issues quickly and efficiently. By offering detailed insights into database operations, AimBetter enhances system stability, boosts performance, and reduces downtime. The platform supports various database environments and integrates with existing infrastructure, ensuring continuous monitoring and proactive management. Its user-friendly interface and advanced alerting mechanisms enable prompt action on critical issues, thereby optimizing resource utilization and improving overall operational efficiency.

The AimBetter March 2026 update now supports global filters that can be applied across all monitored servers simultaneously. This allows database administrators and operations teams to quickly narrow the alert view when investigating issues such as high CPU usage, disk pressure, or problematic queries. By filtering active alerts across the entire environment in a single action, it becomes easier to identify patterns, isolate affected systems, and focus on the most relevant incidents without reviewing each server individually.

To see a full list of what's new in the March 2026 update, see our release notes.

AimBetter is licensed per instance/per year with different plans available dependent on the services you require. See our AimBetter licensing page for full details.
