SQL editor bulk deletes#

https://github.com/supabase/supabase/assets/19742402/f50eabbf-9c30-4828-8f5f-0efeef67a025

We hear you! This has been a very popular request by everyone and we're happy to make the first step to improving the UX around your SQL snippets. You can now delete your queries in bulk - gone are the days of rows full with Untitled queries 😄 Fret not, we're also aware that everyone is also requesting for better organization of snippets (specifically folders) - we're actively figuring out how best to bring that UX into the dashboard for everyone so be sure to watch this space 😉

Query performance updates#

Unoptimized queries are a major cause of poor database performance - which is why the query performance report was initially built. We're equipping this page with better tooling, allowing users to:

1. Search by query or role
2. Sort results by latency
3. Expand results to view the full query that was run

As always, if there's anything more we can do for you, feel free to give us a shout in the feedback widget up top 🙂

Logs Explorer face lift#

In an effort to make our UI more consistent + coherent across all products, we've revamped the Logs Explorer to look just like the SQL Editor in hopes that there's less UI for users to learn, and users can just stay focused on doing what they want to do.

Support for composite foreign keys in table editor#

The previous UI for managing foreign keys in the table editor had functional limitations as it assumed single column relations for foreign keys (overly simplified). We've thus shifted the management of foreign keys into the table side panel editor instead. You can manage all foreign keys across all columns on the table in one place, rather than going into each column individually to do so.

Supavisor replaces PgBouncer for database connection pooling#

We’re deprecating PgBouncer and migrating all projects to our Supavisor connection pooler. Go grab the pooler connection string in your project’s Database Settings.

Direct database connection resolve only to IPv6#

[ACTION REQUIRED] AWS is deprecating IPv4, so we’ve migrating your project to IPv6. If your network supports IPv6 and/or you’re using PostgREST then you don’t need to make any changes. Otherwise, you need to update any connections to Supavisor’s connection pooler. We’ve also made IPv4 addresses available to purchase (passing on the cost from AWS).

Greater clarity on billing breakdown#

We value transparency here at Supabase and that includes ensuring our users having clear visibility over what they are paying for. We've added some details in the organization billing breakdown section to show what are the "Current costs", on top of the "Projected costs" for the organization, and also added information regarding both of them in the form of tooltips. Compute credits are also shown here to ensure that those are considered in the costs calculation.

cron schema from the pg-cron extension no longer editable via the GUI#

The schema is nonetheless still editable from the SQL editor by writing queries directly. This is in efforts to prevent directly inserting/updating rows on the pg_cron extension's cron.job table as it bypasses security checks that would've been asserted when jobs are scheduled/modified via pg_cron functions.

Removed deprecated LinkedIn Provider from Auth Providers#

The LinkedIn provider was scheduled to be deprecated in favour of the current LinkedIn OIDC provider with a notice set up since November 2023 and a couple of email notifications sent out to our users. The LinkedIn provider is now removed from our Auth Providers page. Please do reach out to us via support if you might have been affected by this!

PR: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/20510

Link: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/auth/providers

Supavisor, our connection pooler, does not support using Network Restrictions at the moment. Support for Network Restrictions will be enabled on the 24th of January 2024.

If you are not using Supavisor, this change does not affect you.

Starting the 24th, projects with existing network restrictions will have their Supavisor configuration automatically updated with the same restrictions. Changes to any project’s network restrictions will also be automatically propagated to Supavisor.

FAQ#

• How does the upcoming IPv6 migration affect this change?

If direct connections to your database resolve to a IPv6 address, you need to add both IPv4 and IPv6 CIDRs to the list of allowed CIDRs. Network Restrictions will be applied to all database connection routes, whether pooled or direct. You will need to add both the IPv4 and IPv6 networks you want to allow. There are two exceptions: if you have been granted an extension on the IPv6 migration OR if you have purchased the IPv4 add-on, you need only add IPv4 CIDRs.

On February 1st 2024, AWS will start charging for IPv4 addresses. We're deprecating IPv4 for direct connections.

For more rationale behind the change, please read our blog post: Brace yourself, IPv6 is coming.

If you plan on not using our connection pooler, which still supports IPv4, and your environment does not support IPv6, consider enabling the add-on.

[!NOTE]
You do not need to enable this add-on if you use Supavisor, our new connection pooler!

The add-on is $4 per month - we're simply passing on the AWS costs to you. The add-on is available for all paid plans.

You still need to migrate away from PGBouncer even with this add-on enabled.

You can now enable the IPv4 addon in your project addon settings.

Additionally, we're working on making this even better by offering dedicated IPv4 addresses which help with IP allowlisting and network restrictions. There will be another update once dedicated IPv4 addresses are ready to use.

More announcements from Launch Week X#

As if all that wasn't enough, we shipped even more cool stuff:

• Supavisor 1.0: a scalable connection pooler for Postgres

• Supabase Grafana
• Supabase Wrappers v0.2: Query Pushdown & Remote Subqueries
• PostgREST 12
• pg_graphql: Postgres functions now supported

Released Supavisor 1.1.5

Notable#

• Pools now start with only 10 connections and create new ones up to tenant default_pool_size or user pool_size
• Logs correct tenant id
• API endpoints accept PATCH requests

Previously Supavisor would start a deterministic number of connection depending on the pool size specified on the tenant or tenant user.

Now Supavisor will start 10 connections and then allocate more as needed.

It was pretty easy to over-allocate your database max_connections without fully understanding what your max_connections were and how many were currently being used by other services.

This also makes migration from PgBouncer easier as it's much safer to run multiple connection poolers at the same time as you migrate, as long as they both don't need to allocate their full database connection pools.

Also an implied behavior of Supavisor was that each user connected spins up it's own pool. Without understanding this behavior it's easy to over-allocate database connections by connecting different Posgres users to the pooler.
