Ability to set max_locks_per_transaction
As a SaaS provider using postgresql schemas to separate clients we have a lot of tables, one set per customer schema. Some operations such as pg_dump, or schema migrations, takes locks on a lot of tables at once in the database, prior to dumping, or updating the database. For us this means that the default setting of 64 is too low and we'd like to be able to set the value ourself using parameters.

pgsqueeze is an extension that removes unused space from a table and
optionally sorts tuples according to particular index (as if CLUSTER [2]

Support upgrading major versions via Replication
Upgrading Data via Replication is documented as a method in the PostgreSQL docs.
When creating a read replica in the Azure Portal it is not possible to change the version (I assume it uses the same version as the master).
Please allow selecting a version when creating a replica so that this upgrade method would be possible.

ip4r extension
It would be great to have the ip4r extension available in the Azure Database for PostgreSQL service. We already use this extension in our self-managed psql service to use IP addresses as native objects. It is very useful for some IPAM engines like nipapd, etc.
For more information about this extension: https://github.com/RhodiumToad/ip4r

Allow Event Triggers to be created
I am working with multiple users on shared tables. As the users belong to a dedicated role "pgpublish" I am in the need to run "ALTER TABLE "MYcoolSchema"."CoolNewTable" OWNER TO pgpublish;" on every new table which we create manually.
As I want to have any new table owned by the role pgpublish instead of the user role I want to to create a trigger function and a trigger event to change table owner automatically (as described here: https://blog.hagander.net/setting-owner-at-create-table-237/). Unfortunately I can't create trigger events as I am not a superuser nor do I have the credentials for a SU…11 votes -
Support creating VNET Service endpoint in Azure Red Hat OpenShift
Even though Azure DB for PostgreSQL provides secure connection, Applications on ARO needs to access Azure DB for PostgreSQL via internet.
Currently, VNET for ARO doesn't allow any modification, therefore, there is no option avoiding going through internet when applications connect to Azure DB for PostgreSQL.
There is no point in deploying a DB container on ARO. The user needs to consider how to manage DB.
If ARO allows modifying VNET creating Service endpoint for Azure DB for PostgreSQL, it could provide more secure route and low latency connections as well.

Citus columnar datastore
Azure team edit: I' creating this new idea on behalf of a customer to separate it from the votes for Citus on Azure Database for PostgreSQL. If you're interested in Citus columnar datastore (link below), please vote for this idea.
++++I need this to do big-ish data things:
https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2014/04/03/columnar-store-for-analytics/
I am a huge fan of postgresql for data warehousing, and this is a key thing for having the ability to summary large tables quickly.

Add ability to authenticate against Azure Active Directory
It'd be really useful to not have to rely on DB users for authentication but allow integration with AAD. That way we can enforce password complexity, expiry etc which can't be done with native users.
