Enable the Pgstattuple Extension
The extension pgstattuple is best used when you suspect something is amiss with the performance of a query and you suspect bloat.
The pgstattuple is the most accurate way to determine the bloat in a particular table or index.
I would like the ability to run the command manually as part of my debugging exercises.
It is not required that pgstattuple be run as a service because it is intrusive.

Provide actual memory being used (in GB) in Azure Monitor
Provide actual memory being used (in GB) in Azure Monitor in addition to % memory used. The customer scenario is for the Persona of a QA/Test professional. Actual memory used is much more useful than % used as it related to determining the quality of a product / service. % used is tailored to SRE/Ops persona.

Ability to use PG FDW to access one PG server from another w/o opening the firewall to all of Azure
I'd like a way to use Postgres foreign data wrapper (FDW) which is supported today to access one Azure DB for Postgres server from another, without opening the firewall on the first server to all of Azure.

Transactional DB with Analytics
AWS announced an analytics extension to Aurora for MySQL with postgreSQL to follow:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-parallel-query-for-amazon-aurora/" ...you can run a mix of analytical and transactional queries simultaneously on the same table while maintaining high throughput for both types of queries. "
This would be a tremendous feature that my company could exploit at large scale.

Enable shutdown (deallocate equivalent) for Postgres when not in use.
For non-production environments it would be a helpful cost saving feature to be able to 'turn off' / deallocate Azure Databases (of all types not just postgres) when they are not in use.
While the prevailing logic would suggest that non-production environments should be destroyed when not in use, this is sometimes not convenient or practical when environments are required on (relatively) short notice and DB content sizes are relatively large

Post PostgreSQL Version Updates
Could Azure announce beforehand when version updates will be applied to Azure Database for PostgreSQL? For instance, updates are posted when PHP gets updated (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/june-2018-version-updates-to-php/).

Provide a list of available sku-name values by region
The quickstarts and walkthroughs make reference to the sku-name parameter in the az postgres server create command, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation about how the name is constructed and whether every sku is available in every region. It might be good to have "get-sku-names" cmdlet (or whatever the cli equivalent is) that would return all available skus, possibly with an optional region argument.
At least, the documentation should say "The sku-name parameter consists of 3 parts: Tier (B for Basic, GP for General Purpose, MO for Memory Optimized), Compute (Gen4 or Gen5), and Scale (1-32 vCores) -for…
1 voteThank you for your feedback
We have updated the documentation on the quickstarts and the tutorials to include examples of the syntax, and a reference to the regions and pricing tier page for guidance about allowed combinations.
See this section: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/quickstart-create-server-database-azure-cli#create-an-azure-database-for-postgresql-server
The additional feature request of having a cmdlet generate valid values is currently unplanned.
Thanks,
Rachel on behalf of the Azure Database for PostgreSQL. -

Debugging support
Please add support for debugging. When using pgAdmin and other development tools they refer to the the extention pldbgapi, and would be great if this was installed by default.
