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.

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.

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.

Make PostgreSQL on Azure support usable speeds and not be slow af.
PostgreSQL on Azure is very outdated and extremely slow. It's very much unusable like this and we ended up moving to our own PostgreSQL container that don't have these issue. Please clarify that

Pg_basebackup / Replication on-premise
It would be great if we could either use pgbasebackup as well as pgdump to take backup or the ability to replica from the Azure Master to our own db instance (either a VM on Azure or on-premise).
This would mean creating replication role slots under the Connection security tab.

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

Support for Custom Full Text Search Dictionaries
PostgreSQL supports so many great full text search capabilities that can be really handy in small to mid sized applications without adding the extra overhead of separate search services.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/textsearch-dictionaries.html
When self-hosting PG you can add custom dictionaries, with custom synonym, thesaurus, stop word, and other stemming definitions. Currently Azure hosted PostgreSQL doesn't support this, as you'd need access to upload language and dictionary files to use in those definitions. For example, if you want a solid spellchecker via ispell or hunspell you can download those extensions and place them in the $SHAREDIR/tsearch_data directory on the PG server.

Execute SQL scripts during ARM Template Deployments
After deploying a postgreSQL service using an ARM template, in order to configure my databases, roles, etc., I have to execute a script after I have deployed the service.
I'd like a way to include a SQL script at time of deploying my ARM template.
