Chapter 8. Dynamic programming languages, web servers, database servers

Initial versions available in RHEL 10

RHEL 10.0 provides the following dynamic programming languages:

RHEL 10 provides the MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL services as RPM packages instead of modules

In previous RHEL versions, Red Hat used module streams to provide multiple versions of MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL in parallel. RHEL 10 provides the MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL services as RPM and alternative streams will also be provided as RPM packages instead of modules. The new concept incorporates the stream version into the package name, for example postgresql16. If Red Hat adds a new stream of MariaDB, MySQL, or PostgreSQL in a future RHEL version, you can then also install them also by using the package name.

libdb has been removed

RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 provide Berkeley DB (libdb) version 5.3.28, which is distributed under the LGPLv2 license. The upstream Berkeley DB version 6 is available under the AGPLv3 license, which is more restrictive. Therefore, the libdb package is not available in RHEL 10. Users of libdb are advised to migrate to a different key-value database. For more information, see the following Red Hat Knowledgebase articles:

Session extension is now available in SQLite

RHEL 10 enables session extension in SQLite. With this feature, you can now work in sets of changes that can later be applied to different databases. Additionally, you can revert all changes in the set at once.
