PostgreSQL database requirements for ArcGIS 10.7.x and ArcGIS Pro 2.3 and 2.4

  • Minimum supported database versions
  • Supported operating systems
  • Database requirements and limitations
  • Software required to connect to a DBMS

Visit Esri Support for information on the Esri Supported Environment Policy.

Minimum supported database versions

The following versions of PostgreSQL and PostGIS are supported with ArcGIS. The specific versions listed are the minimum minor version supported and certified for each supported major release of PostgreSQL. Newer minor versions are supported but are not certified. Pursuant to the PostgreSQL definition, the number in the y position denotes a minor version in a PostgreSQL 9.x.y release. For PostgreSQL 10.x, the number in the x position indicates a minor version.

  • PostgreSQL 11.2*
    • PostGIS 2.5.1*
  • PostgreSQL 10.7 (64 bit)
    • PostGIS 2.4
  • PostgreSQL 9.6.12 (64 bit)
    • PostGIS 2.3
  • PostgreSQL 9.5.12 (64 bit)**
    • PostGIS 2.2**

*Support begins with ArcGIS 10.7.1 and ArcGIS Pro 2.4.

**Support ends after ArcGIS 10.7 and ArcGIS Pro 2.3.

Esri tests and certifies PostgreSQL installations that are available from PostgreSQL.org. For each PostgreSQL release that Esri supports, available PostGIS modules are also tested and certified. No other modules extending PostgreSQL functionality are included in Esri certification.

Supported operating systems

If you use a geodatabase in PostgreSQL or use the ST_Geometry type in a PostgreSQL database, the following operating systems have been tested and are the minimum supported version. Future updates or service packs on these operating system versions are supported and assumed to work unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.

Microsoft Windows

For PostgreSQL on Windows, you need the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 installed on the PostgreSQL machine. See The latest supported Visual C++ downloads from Microsoft Support for more information.

Note:

Esri Technical Support is available for CentOS Linux, Scientific Linux, and Oracle Linux versions that provide full binary compatibility with an equivalent supported RHEL Server version. As a prerequisite for logging a defect, any software issue on these operating systems will be attempted to be reproduced on RHEL Server. For Oracle Linux, support is predicated on the use of the RHEL Server compatible kernel.

Database requirements and limitations

Use of the PostGIS geography type with ArcGIS requires PostgreSQL 9.6.12 and later.

Software required to connect to a DBMS

Most ArcGIS applications that can connect to a PostgreSQL database include the required PostgreSQL client libraries. These applications include ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcReader.
