## Preconditions

1. Debian and other systems that use the `apt` package manager include the upstream PostgreSQL server package `postgresql-{{pgversion}}` by default. The components of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL {{pgversion}} can only be installed together with Percona PostgreSQL server (`percona-postgresql-{{pgversion}}`). If you wish to use Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL, uninstall the `postgresql-{{pgversion}}` package provided by your distribution and then install the chosen components from Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL.
2. Install `curl` for [Telemetry](telemetry.md). We use it to better understand the use of our products and improve them.

Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is a suite of open source software, tools and services required to deploy and maintain a reliable production cluster for PostgreSQL.

Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL includes [Percona Server for PostgreSQL](postgresql-server.md) packaged with extensions from open source community that are certified and tested to work together for high availability, backups, security, and monitoring that help ensure the cluster's peak performance.

* WAL Read/Write API Exposure to hook into WAL read and write functions.

These modifications provide index-level and WAL encryption of indexes via the `pg_tde` extension. Note that these encryption features are experimental and under active development.
These modifications are the preparations to provide index-level and WAL encryption of indexes via the [`pg_tde` :octicons-link-external-16:](https://percona-lab.github.io/pg_tde/main/) extension. These encryption features are still under active development and are planned for future releases.

Percona Server and upstream PostgreSQL function identically enabling you to migrate from one to another.

However, index-level encryption is available only with Percona Server for PostgreSQL. So if you encrypted indexes, you cannot switch to the upstream PostgreSQL without losing this data. [Learn more about TDE](https://percona-lab.github.io/pg_tde/main/)

We are pleased to announce the launch of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL 17.0 - a solution with the collection of tools from PostgreSQL community that are tested to work together and serve to assist you in deploying and managing PostgreSQL. The aim of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is to address the operational issues like High-Availability, Disaster Recovery, Security, Observability, Spatial data handling, Performance and Scalability and others that enterprises are facing.

The aim of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is to address the operational issues like High-Availability, Disaster Recovery, Security, Observability, Spatial data handling, Performance and Scalability and others that enterprises are facing.

This release of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is based on **Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17** - a binary compatible drop in replacement of [PostgreSQL 17 :octicons-link-external-16:](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/release-17.html). Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17 extends the Storage Manager API to hook in custom storage managers and introduce the encryption of indexes (experimental feature) as part of the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) solution.
This release of Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is based on **Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17.0.1** - a binary compatible drop in replacement of [PostgreSQL Community 17.0 :octicons-link-external-16:](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/release-17.html).

Both Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17 and PostgreSQL Community 17 function identically enabling you to migrate from one to another. However, index-level encryption is available only with Percona Server for PostgreSQL. So if you encrypted indexes and wish to migrate to the upstream PostgreSQL, you must first migrate data to the unencrypted table and then proceed with the migration.
Both Percona Server for PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL Community function identically enabling you to migrate from one to another.

Percona Server for PostgreSQL 17.0.1 has the extra digit in version which represents Percona version number.

To check what software you're running, run the following SQL query:

```sql
SELECT version();
```

??? example "Sample output"

```sql
PostgreSQL 17.0.1 (Percona Server for PostgreSQL)
```

Alternatively, you can pass the `--with-extra-version` flag when you establish the `psql` session:

```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ psql --with-extra-version
```
