    The SQL standard is not standing still. SQL:2016 introduced the latest round of features, and a new standard is expected in 2020. What does that mean for PostgreSQL, the most SQL-conforming relational database system? Let's take a look what new features recent SQL standard releases have brought. One of the main features of SQL:2016 is JSON support. PostgreSQL has been a leader of JSON support among relational databases, and PostgreSQL 12 and beyond will bring the SQL standard interfaces on top of existing JSON support. Other features in SQL:2016 being considered for future PostgreSQL releases include row-pattern recognition and several new functions and data types. A number of new features are being worked on for SQL:2020, among which graph database functionality is the most notable. We'll discuss some of these past and future features, the relationship with other SQL implementations, the SQL standardization process and adoption in PostgreSQL.
