It's good to see that new releases keep coming out at a steady pace.

I also read in the documentation that now we can connect to a remote PostgreSQL. I couldn’t find anywhere though an explanation on why would we want to do so. I followed from there the link to SystemLink Operations Handbook but I could not find any mention of PostgreSQL in the handbook.

Would you be able to provide some clarification on how can me make best use of your latest features?

Thank you!

Hi Mihai, 

This capability will be made available in an upcoming patch. We're currently working on the handbook chapter on migrating and upgrading SystemLink. This will include details on how to migrate test data to Postgres. I hope to have that published within the next two weeks.
