credcheck - provides few general credential checks, which will be evaluated during the user creation, during the password change and user renaming. By using this extension, we can define a set of rules to allow a specific set of credentials, and a set of rules to reject a certain type of credentials. This extension is developed based on the PostgreSQL's check_password_hook hook.

page_repair - designed to repair separate corrupted pages using backup data from the replication server. It allows saving reparation time as it does not require reparation of all data, but separate pages.

pg_background - allows executing commands in the background mode such as VACUUM and CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY from SQL along with launching autonomous transactions.

pg_cron - represents a cron-based job scheduler working within the database as an extension. It uses the same syntax as regular cron, but it allows scheduling Tantor DBMS commands directly from the database.

pg_repack - removes bloat from tables and indexes, and optionally restores the physical order of clustered indexes. Unlike CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL it works online, without holding an exclusive lock on the processed tables during processing.

pg_stat_kcache - gathers statistics about real reads and writes done by the filesystem layer.

pg_store_plans - provides the means to keep track of the execution plan statistics for all SQL statements executed by the Tantor server.

pg_wait_sampling - provides information about current waiting event for a certain process. However, to collect a descriptive statistics of server behaviour a user must repeatedly collect the current waiting event. This module represents an extension for collecting sample statistics of waiting events that prevent needless sampling of the current event waiting.

pgaudit - provides detailed session and/or object audit logging via the standard Tantor DBMS logging facility. The goal of the pgAudit is to provide Tantor DBMS users with capability to produce audit logs often required to comply with government, financial, or ISO certifications.

pgauditlogtofile - is an addon to pgAudit than will redirect audit log lines to an independent file, instead of using PostgreSQL server logger. This will allow us to have an audit file that we can easily rotate without polluting server logs with those messages. Audit logs in heavily used systems can grow very fast. This extension allows to automatically rotate the files based in a number of minutes.

The first release of Tantor BE is 15.2.0. Significant changes can be found on the related page.
