LibPQ.jl in 2026: Maintenance status and PostgreSQL alternatives

Tooling Package Management
1

Hi everyone,

With the upcoming Julia 1.13 release, LibPQ.jl seems to be showing signs of being unmaintained, and there are breaking/compatibility issues emerging.

What is the current status of the package within JuliaDatabases? Are there plans to transfer maintenance, cut a new release, or is the community rallying around an alternative PostgreSQL interface?

I’d appreciate any insights into the roadmap or how to help move it forward

What are the compatibility issues you see? I’ve been using LibPQ recently, including with the 1.13 Julia release, and haven’t encountered a problem so far.
