En esta página, se describen las funciones y capacidades principales de Cloud SQL para PostgreSQL. Cloud SQL también está disponible para MySQL y SQL Server.
Funciones de PostgreSQL de las ediciones de Cloud SQL
No se admite la conexión a Cloud SQL con un Acceso privado a Google.
Diferencias entre PostgreSQL estándar y Cloud SQL para PostgreSQL
En general, la funcionalidad de PostgreSQL que proporciona una instancia de Cloud SQL es la misma que la que proporciona una instancia PostgreSQL alojada de forma local. Sin embargo, hay algunas diferencias entre una instancia de PostgreSQL estándar y una instancia de Cloud SQL.
Funciones no compatibles con Cloud SQL para PostgreSQL
Cualquier función que requiera privilegios de SUPERUSER, con las siguientes excepciones:
Si te asignan la función cloudsqlsuperuser, puedes realizar declaraciones CREATE CAST y DROP CAST. Para obtener más información, consulta Restricciones y privilegios de superusuario.
El método de conversión WITHOUT FUNCTION.
Trabajadores en segundo plano personalizados.
El cliente psql de Cloud Shell no admite operaciones que requieran una reconexión, como la conexión a una base de datos diferente con el comando \c.
Compilación justo a tiempo (JIT) de máquina virtual de nivel bajo (LLVM).
Diferencias notables entre PostgreSQL y Cloud SQL para PostgreSQL
Algunos parámetros y opciones de PostgreSQL no están habilitados para editar como las

Cloud SQL is also available for [MySQL](/sql/docs/mysql/features) and [SQL Server](/sql/docs/sqlserver/features).\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n| **Note:** For information about the supported versions of database engines, see [Database versions and version policies](/sql/docs/postgres/db-versions).\n\nPostgreSQL features by Cloud SQL editions\n-----------------------------------------\n\nFor more information about the features for each edition of Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL,\nsee [Introduction to Cloud SQL editions](/sql/docs/postgres/editions-intro).\n\nPostgreSQL feature support for Cloud SQL\n----------------------------------------\n\n- Fully managed PostgreSQL databases in the cloud.\n- Instances available in the Americas, EU, Asia, and Australia. See [all\n locations where you can create Cloud SQL\n instances](/sql/docs/postgres/locations).\n- Supports migration from source databases to Cloud SQL destination databases using [Database Migration Service\n (DMS)](/database-migration/docs/postgres/configure-source-database).\n- Customer data encrypted on Google's internal networks and in database tables, temporary files, and backups.\n- Support for secure external connections with the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy or with the SSL/TLS protocol.\n- Data replication between multiple zones with automatic failover.\n- Import and export databases using SQL dump files.\n- Support for PostgreSQL client-server protocol and standard PostgreSQL connectors.\n- Automated backups, on-demand backups, and point-in-time recovery.\n- Instance cloning.\n- Integration with Google Cloud Observability logging and monitoring.\n- Support for multiple [PostgreSQL versions](/sql/docs/postgres/db-versions).\n- Logical replication\n\nSupported PostgreSQL extensions for Cloud SQL\n---------------------------------------------\n\nCloud SQL supports many PostgreSQL extensions. For a complete list of these\nextensions, see [Configure PostgreSQL\nextensions](/sql/docs/postgres/extensions).\n\nSupported PostgreSQL procedural languages for Cloud SQL\n-------------------------------------------------------\n\nCloud SQL supports the [`PL/pgSQL` SQL procedural\nlanguage](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql.html).\n\nSupported languages for Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL\n------------------------------------------------\n\nYou can use Cloud SQL with App Engine applications running in the\nflexible environment that are written in:\n\n- C#\n- Go\n- Java\n- Node.js\n- PHP\n- Python\n- Ruby\n\nYou can also use Cloud SQL with external applications using the standard\nPostgreSQL client-server protocol.\n\nHow you can connect to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instances\n---------------------------------------------------------\n\nYou can connect to a Cloud SQL instance from:\n\n- A `psql` client. [Learn more](/sql/docs/postgres/connect-admin-ip).\n- Third-party tools that use the standard PostgreSQL client-server protocol.\n- External applications. [Learn\n more](/sql/docs/postgres/connect-external-app).\n- App Engine applications. [Learn\n more](/sql/docs/postgres/connect-app-engine).\n- Applications running on Compute Engine. [Learn\n more](/sql/docs/postgres/connect-compute-engine).\n- Applications running on Google Kubernetes Engine. [Learn\n more](/sql/docs/postgres/connect-kubernetes-engine).\n- Cloud Run functions. [Learn more](/sql/docs/postgres/connect-functions).\n - Cloud Run. [Learn more](/sql/docs/mysql/connect-run).\n\nConnecting to Cloud SQL with Private Google access isn't supported.\n\nDifferences between standard PostgreSQL and Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL\n--------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIn general, the PostgreSQL functionality provided by a Cloud SQL\ninstance is the same as the functionality provided by a locally-hosted\nPostgreSQL instance. However, there are a few differences between a standard\nPostgreSQL instance and a Cloud SQL instance.\n\n### Unsupported features for Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL\n\n- Any feature that requires `SUPERUSER` privileges with the following exceptions:\n\n - You can use the `CREATE EXTENSION` statement only for [supported extensions](#extensions).\n\n - If you are assigned to the `cloudsqlsuperuser` role, then you can perform `CREATE CAST` and `DROP CAST` statements. For more information, see [Superuser restrictions and privileges](/sql/docs/postgres/users#superuser-restrictions-and-privileges).\n\n- The `WITHOUT FUNCTION` cast method.\n\n- Custom background workers.\n\n- The `psql` client in Cloud Shell doesn't support operations that\n require a reconnection, such as connecting to a different database using the\n `\\c` command.\n\n- Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation.\n\n### Notable differences between PostgreSQL and Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL\n\n- Some PostgreSQL options and parameters aren't enabled for editing as [Cloud SQL flags](/sql/docs/postgres/flags).\n\n To request the addition of a configurable Cloud SQL flag, use the [Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL Forum](https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/forums/filteredbylabelpage/board-id/cloud-database/label-name/cloud%20sql%20for%20postgres)."]]
