New Release! Qlik PostgreSQL Installer version 1.4.0

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Hello everyone,

The December 2023 (1.4.0) version of the Qlik PostgreSQL installer is now available on Qlik's download page.

What's New?

1.4.0 introduces Silent install/upgrade support and comes with a number of fixes. See the Release Notes for details.

Want to know more about the Qlik PostgreSQL installer?

Using the Qlik Postgres Installer not only upgrades PostgreSQL; it also unbundles PostgreSQL from your Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows install and can be used to install a new standalone PostgreSQL database with the configuration required for connecting a Qlik Sense server.

Why upgrade and unbundle with the Qlik PostgreSQL installer?

It allows for direct control of your PostgreSQL instance and facilitates maintenance without a dependency on Qlik Sense. Further Database upgrades can then be performed independently and in accordance with your corporate security policy when needed, as long as you remain within the supported PostgreSQL versions. See How To Upgrade Standalone PostgreSQL.

Thank you for choosing Qlik,

Does

"Using the Qlik Postgres Installer not only upgrades PostgreSQL; it also unbundles PostgreSQL from your Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows install. "

also results in

"Standalone PostgreSQL database server instances are not covered by the Qlik Support Maintenance Agreement." (https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Qlik-Sense-Enterprise-on-Windows-How-To-Upgr... ).

Also with using QPI and unbundling PostgreSQL ends up in not covered Qlik Support Maintenance???

Hello,

I will have the phrasing reviewed. But I can tell you right away: It does not void maintenance for the Qlik Sense environment. The statement refers to, for example, upgrading PostgreSQL, which will then be possible for you to do at any point (as long as you use a version which is compatible with your installed Sense release).

Edit: I removed the line as it was misleading. While Qlik Support cannot directly assist in tasks such as upgrading a standalone PostgreSQL instance, the setup with Qlik Sense is, of course, fully supported and maintained. 

All the best,
Sonja
