Waiting for PostgreSQL 14 – Provide the OR REPLACE option for CREATE TRIGGER.

On 14th of November 2020, Tom Lane committed patch:

Provide the OR REPLACE option for CREATE TRIGGER.
 
This is mostly straightforward.  However, we disallow replacing
constraint triggers or changing the is-constraint property; perhaps
that can be added later, but the complexity versus benefit tradeoff
doesn't look very good.
 
Also, no special thought is taken here for whether replacing an
existing trigger should result in changes to queued-but-not-fired
trigger actions.  We just document that if you're surprised by the
results, too bad, don't do that.  (Note that any such pending trigger
activity would have to be within the current session.)

Waiting for PostgreSQL 12 – Report progress of CREATE INDEX operations

On 2nd of April 2019, Alvaro Herrera committed patch:

Report progress of CREATE INDEX operations
 
 
This uses the progress reporting infrastructure added by ,
adding support for CREATE INDEX and CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
 
There are two pieces to this: one is index-AM-agnostic, and the other is
AM-specific.  The latter is fairly elaborate for btrees, including
reportage for parallel index builds and the separate phases that btree
index creation uses; other index AMs, which are much simpler in their
building procedures, have simplistic reporting only, but that seems
sufficient, at least for non-concurrent builds.
 
The index-AM-agnostic part is fairly complete, providing insight into
the CONCURRENTLY wait phases as well as block-based progress during the
index validation table scan.  (The index validation index scan requires
patching each AM, which has not been included here.)
