Parameterized views let you dynamically filter data based on session context parameters passed with queries, helping you isolate tenant data and restrict data access in AI agent and LLM applications. For more information, see [Create a parameterized view](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/create-manage-views.md.txt#create-parameterized-view) and [Use parameterized views](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/use-parameterized-views.md.txt). ## October 30, 2026 Feature Spanner supports equality and ordering comparisons on JSONB and JSON values. You can use these values in `GROUP_BY` and `ORDER BY` clauses without first converting them to another data type. In GoogleSQL, you can also convert other data types to `JSON` using `CAST(expression AS JSON)` and compare JSON values directly with non-JSON values. Spanner can implicitly coerces the non-JSON value to `JSON` for comparison. Additionally, you can use search indexes to accelerate equality comparisons such as `=` or `IN` on JSONB and JSON columns and subpaths. For more information, see [JSON comparison and sorting](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-types.md.txt#comparison_and_sorting) , [JSON comparison coercion](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/conversion_rules.md.txt#json_comparison_coercion) , [CAST AS JSON](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/conversion_functions.md.txt#cast_as_json) , [JSON search indexes](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/full-text-search/json-indexes.md.txt) , and [Working with JSONB](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/working-with-jsonb.md.txt).

For more information, see [Google Cloud locations](https://cloud.google.com/about/locations) and [Spanner pricing](https://cloud.google.com/spanner/pricing). ## January 13, 2026 Feature Several updates have been made to [full-text search](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/full-text-search.md.txt): - [Named schemas](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/full-text-search/search-indexes.md.txt#create_and_query_a_search_index_for_a_named_schema) support full-text search. - Spanner search indexes can [accelerate pattern matching expressions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/full-text-search/pattern-matching-function-acceleration.md.txt) such as `LIKE`, `STARTS_WITH`, and `ENDS_WITH` for pattern matching, and `REGEXP_CONTAINS` for regular expression matching. - [`TOKENIZE_FULLTEXT`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/search_functions.md.txt#tokenize_fulltext) has an argument for removing diacritics. `SEARCH` and `SCORE` use this if the data was tokenized with this option. - [`TOKENIZE_SUBSTRING`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/full-text-search/substring-search.md.txt) supports emojis. ## January 05, 2026 Feature You can use [SQL views](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/views.md.txt) to create a graph. For requirements, considerations, and the benefits of using SQL views to create a graph, see [Overview of graphs created from SQL views](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/graph/graph-with-views-overview.md.txt). To learn how to create a graph from views, see [Create a property graph from SQL views](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/graph/graph-with-views-how-to.md.txt). ## December 18, 2025 Feature The GoogleSQL function [`ELEMENT_DEFINITION_NAME`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/graph-gql-functions.md.txt#element_definition_name) is available. `ELEMENT_DEFINITION_NAME` returns the name of the graph element table underlying a graph element. ## December 17, 2025 Feature You can build data agents that interact with the data in your database using conversational language. Use these data agents as tools to empower your applications. For more information, see [Data agents overview](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/data-agent-overview). This feature is available in [Preview](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages), and access to it requires a [sign-up](https://forms.gle/pJByTWfenZAWbaXo7). ## December 12, 2025 Feature Spanner supports the PostgreSQL `generate_series()` function. You can use this function to create a sequence of numbers. For more information, see [Set returning functions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/functions.md.txt#set-returning-functions). ## December 11, 2025 Feature Spanner [Data Boost](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/databoost/databoost-overview.md.txt) includes a the [Data Boost concurrent requests in milli-operations per second per region](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/databoost/databoost-quotas.md.txt) quota, which applies fine-grained control over how multiple concurrent requests for your project share Data Boost resources. Instead of counting 1 request against 1 unit of quota under the existing [concurrency quota regime](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/databoost/databoost-quotas.md.txt), Data Boost splits a request at a granularity of 1/1000, allowing for a greater number of concurrent requests to make progress. For more information, see [Quotas and limits](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/quotas.md.txt#data_boost_limits). Feature Spanner Graph supports using the [`ANY CHEAPEST`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/graph/work-with-paths.md.txt#any-cheapest) path search prefix in a query to return the path with the lowest total compute cost. For more information, see [Path search prefix](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/graph-patterns.md.txt#search_prefix) in the [Spanner Graph Language](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/graph-intro.md.txt) reference. ## December 10, 2025 Feature Spanner supports the following new columns in the `SPANNER_SYS` [oldest active queries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/introspection/oldest-active-queries.md.txt) table: - `CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS` - `API_CLIENT_HEADER` - `USER_AGENT_HEADER` - `SERVER_REGION` - `PRIORITY` - `TRANSACTION_TYPE` You can also view these columns in the Spanner **query insights** page on the Google Cloud console. For more information, see [Monitor active queries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/monitor-active-queries.md.txt#view-longest-running-queries). ## December 03, 2025 Change String values in [Spanner Studio query results](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/manage-data-using-console.md.txt#create-modify-query-data) are enclosed in double quotes, providing a visual cue to differentiate string values from other data types. This enhancement is for display purposes only and doesn't affect how data is exported or accessed. ## November 20, 2025 Feature Query optimizer version 8 is the [default version](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/query-optimizer/versions.md.txt) for Spanner. ## November 14, 2025 Feature The GoogleSQL function [`IS_FIRST`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/graph-sql-functions.md.txt#is_first) is available for graph queries. `IS_FIRST` returns `true` if a row is in the first `k` rows (1-based) within a window. You can use `IS_FIRST` in graph queries to [limit traversed edges to improve query performance](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/graph/best-practices-tuning-queries.md.txt#limit-traversed-edges). You can also use `IS_FIRST` to [sample intermediate nodes to optimize multi-hop queries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/graph/best-practices-tuning-queries.md.txt#use-is-first). ## November 11, 2025 Feature [Spanner Studio](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/manage-data-using-console.md.txt) added support for several export options for your query results. You can export to a CSV or JSON file, Google Sheets, or copy the results to a clipboard. For more information, see [Create, modify, and query your data](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/manage-data-using-console.md.txt#create-modify-query-data). ## November 10, 2025 Feature Spanner automatically provides recommendations to apply [schema design best practices](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/schema-design.md.txt) to your databases. You can view these schema issue recommendations on the Spanner Studio page for your database. For more information, see [View schema design best practice recommendations](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/manage-data-using-console.md.txt#recommend-schema-best). This feature is in [Preview](https://cloud.google.com/products/#product-launch-stages%22%3E). ## October 31, 2025 Libraries A monthly digest of client library updates from across the [Google Cloud SDK](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk). ### Java ### Changes for [google-cloud-spanner](https://github.com/googleapis/java-spanner) #### [6.102.1](https://github.com/googleapis/java-spanner/compare/v6.102.0...v6.102.1) (2025-10-23) ##### Bug Fixes -

Users don't incur any Spanner [network egress charges](https://cloud.google.com/spanner/pricing#network) during the preview period. This feature is in [Preview](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages). ## May 26, 2025 Feature Spanner enables efficient backup copying for [incremental backups](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/backup#incremental-backups). When you copy an incremental backup, Spanner also copies all older backups in the chain needed to restore the backup. If the destination instance already contains a backup chain that ends with an older backup from the same source chain, Spanner avoids creating redundant copies to save storage and network costs. Spanner copies only the incremental backup and any older backups not present in the destination chain, and appends them to the existing chain. While Spanner attempts to avoid redundant copies, in rare situations, Spanner might need to copy all the older backups in the chain, even if previously copied backups already exist in the destination instance. For more information, see [Incremental backups](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/backup.md.txt#incremental-backups). ## May 15, 2025 Feature You can create a pre-filtered vector index that indexes only rows in your database that match a specific filter condition. Using a pre-filtered vector index improves both the performance and recall of approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) searchers by restricting the search to only apply to rows that satisfy the filtering condition. For more information, see [Filter a vector index](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/find-approximate-nearest-neighbors.md.txt#filter-vector-index). ## May 13, 2025 Feature Spanner supports the `INTERVAL` data type in GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL, which represents a duration or an amount of time. For more information, see [Interval functions in GoogleSQL](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/interval_functions.md.txt) and [PostgreSQL data types](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/data-types.md.txt#interval-type). Feature Spanner supports the [`SPLIT_SUBSTR()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions.md.txt#split_substr) GoogleSQL function, which splits an input string using a delimiter and returns a substring composed of a specific number of segments, starting from a given segment index. Spanner also supports the following GoogleSQL aliases: - [`ADDDATE()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/date_functions.md.txt#adddate): Alias for [`DATE_ADD()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/date_functions.md.txt#date_add) - [`SUBDATE()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/date_functions.md.txt#subdate): Alias for [`DATE_SUB()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/date_functions.md.txt#date_sub) - [`LCASE()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions.md.txt#lcase): Alias for [`LOWER()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions.md.txt#lower) - [`UCASE()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions.md.txt#ucase): Alias for [`UPPER()`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions.md.txt#upper) ## May 01, 2025 Feature Spanner Graph lets you model schemaless data with a dynamic label and properties. For more information, see [Manage schemaless data with Spanner Graph](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/graph/manage-schemaless-data.md.txt). ## April 30, 2025 Libraries A monthly digest of client library updates from across the [Google Cloud SDK](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk). ### Go ### Changes for [spanner/admin/database/apiv1](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/tree/main/spanner/admin/database/apiv1) #### [1.79.0](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/compare/spanner/v1.78.0...spanner/v1.79.0) (2025-04-08) ##### Features -

Adding span attributes for request tag and transaction tag ([#2236](https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-spanner/issues/2236)) ([3f69dad](https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-spanner/commit/3f69dad36cfdeb4effd191e0d38079ead1bd6654)) Feature The `enhance_query` option on the [`SEARCH`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/search_functions.md.txt#search_fulltext), [`SCORE`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/search_functions.md.txt#score), and [`SNIPPET`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/search_functions.md.txt#snippet) functions provides automatic synonym matching and spell correction of single words, by default. Previously, if you provided a single word as the search string it likely didn't return any matches and required a phrase with context to perform the enhanced search. ## April 28, 2025 Feature Manually adding split points to your Spanner database is generally available. Spanner automatically splits, or partitions, data in response to traffic changes to spread load across all available resources in an instance. For large, anticipated traffic changes, such as for a product launch, you can pre-split the database with split boundaries that represent future traffic. This warmup can yield significant performance benefits for large scaling events. For more information about configuring split points for your database, see [Pre-splitting overview](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/pre-splitting-overview.md.txt). ## April 24, 2025 Feature Spanner lets you use the [`INTERLEAVE IN` clause](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-definition-language.md.txt#create_table) to colocate child rows with parent rows without enforcing the parent-child relationship. When you use `INTERLEAVE IN` (without the `PARENT` option), you can insert child rows before inserting the parent row. You can also delete the parent row without affecting the child rows. For more information, see [Create interleaved tables](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/schema-and-data-model.md.txt#create-interleaved-tables) and [Indexes and interleaving](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/secondary-indexes.md.txt#indexes_and_interleaving). ## April 14, 2025 Feature End-to-end tracing is generally available ([GA](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages)). Spanner supports end-to-end tracing, along with client-side tracing in the Node.js and Python client libraries, in addition to Java and Go. For more information, see [Trace collection overview](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/tracing-overview.md.txt). ## April 09, 2025 Feature You can use Gemini assistance to help you use system insights to optimize and troubleshoot Spanner resources. For more information, see [Optimize and troubleshoot with Gemini assistance](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/observe-troubleshoot-with-gemini). Feature Spanner offers Cassandra compatibility with API support and migration tools allowing seamless lift-and-shift migrations of Cassandra applications. For more information, see [Migrate from Cassandra to Spanner](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/non-relational/migrate-from-cassandra-to-spanner.md.txt). ## April 04, 2025 Feature Spanner includes the [`PARAMETER_DEFAULT` column](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/information-schema.md.txt#parameters) in the `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS` table. This column returns the default value of change stream read functions parameters. ## April 03, 2025 Feature In Spanner Graph you can view a visualization of graph elements returned by a Spanner Graph query and of a Spanner Graph schema. A graph query visualization helps you understand the query results by revealing patterns, dependencies, and anomalies in the returned graph elements. A graph schema visualization helps you understand how the nodes and edges in a schema are related. For more information, see [Work with Spanner Graph visualizations](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/graph/work-with-visualizations.md.txt). ## March 31, 2025 Feature Spanner supports the following GoogleSQL JSON mutator functions: - `JSON_ARRAY_APPEND()` - `JSON_ARRAY_INSERT()` - `JSON_REMOVE()` - `JSON_SET()` - `JSON_STRIP_NULLS()` Spanner supports the following PostgreSQL `JSONB` mutator functions: - `jsonb_insert()` - `jsonb_set()` - `jsonb_set_lax()` - `jsonb_strip_nulls()` Spanner also supports the following PostgreSQL `JSONB` operators: - concat: `jsonb || jsonb -> jsonb` - delete: `jsonb - text -> jsonb` For more information, see [JSON functions in GoogleSQL](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/functions-all.md.txt) and [Supported PostgreSQL functions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/functions-and-operators). Feature The GoogleSQL [`JSON_KEYS`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/json_functions.md.txt#json_keys) and PostgreSQL [`json_object_keys`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/functions-and-operators#jsonb_functions) functions, which extract unique JSON keys from a JSON expression, are generally available. Feature JSON search indexes are generally available in Spanner. This extension of Spanner's full-text index capabilities accelerates many JSON document queries, even without prior knowledge of the documents' structure. You can create search indexes over any JSON document stored in a `JSON` column. The [`JSON_CONTAINS`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/json_functions.md.txt#json_contains) function in GoogleSQL and the [`@>` and `<@`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/functions-and-operators#jsonb_operators) operators in PostgreSQL can use search indexes to determine if one document structure is contained in another. Search indexing supports `JSON` types in GoogleSQL-dialect databases and `JSONB` in PostgreSQL-dialect databases. For more information, see [JSON search indexes](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/full-text-search/json-indexes.md.txt). Libraries A monthly digest of client library updates from across the [Google Cloud SDK](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk). ### Go ### Changes for [spanner/admin/database/apiv1](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/tree/main/spanner/admin/database/apiv1) #### [1.77.0](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/compare/spanner/v1.76.1...spanner/v1.77.0) (2025-03-03) ##### Features -

If you have a table with a large amount of vector data, you can use a vector index to accelerate similarity searches and nearest neighbor queries. Spanner also supports the following: - [`ALTER VECTOR INDEX`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-definition-language.md.txt#alter-vector-index) DDL syntax - [Import and export](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/import-export-overview.md.txt) databases that use ANN - Use the [`STORING` clause](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/secondary-indexes.md.txt#storing_clause) to store a copy of a column in the vector index to accelerate queries that filter by those columns - Use ANN in instances smaller than one node or 1000 processing units For more information, see [Find approximate nearest neighbors, create vector indexes, and query vector embeddings](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/find-approximate-nearest-neighbors.md.txt). Feature Spanner ANN indexes are supported in Langchain. For more information, see [LangChain Quickstart for Spanner](https://github.com/googleapis/langchain-google-spanner-python/blob/main/samples/langchain_quick_start.ipynb). ## March 27, 2025 Feature You can save and manage your SQL scripts in Spanner Studio. This feature is in [preview](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages). For more information, see [Saved queries overview](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/saved-queries.md.txt). ## March 18, 2025 Feature The default time zone of your Spanner databases can be set. For more information, see [Set the default time zone of a database](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/set-default-time-zone.md.txt). This feature is [generally available](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages) (GA). ## March 17, 2025 Feature You can create an [external dataset](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/spanner-external-datasets.md.txt) in BigQuery that links to an existing database in Spanner. This feature is [generally available](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages) (GA). Feature You can use [`EXPORT DATA` statements](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/other-statements) to [reverse ETL BigQuery data to Spanner](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/export-to-spanner.md.txt). This feature is [generally available](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages) (GA). ## March 10, 2025 Feature Tiered storage is Generally Available in Spanner. Tiered storage is a fully-managed feature that lets you store your data across solid-state drives (SSD) or hard disk drives (HDD). Using tiered storage lets you take advantage of both SSD storage, which supports the high performance of active data, and HDD storage, which supports infrequent data access at a lower cost. For more information, see [Tiered storage](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/tiered-storage.md.txt). Feature The following LangChain solutions can be used with Spanner Graph: - Graph store for Spanner: Use to retrieve and store nodes and edges from a graph database. For more information, see [Graph store for Spanner](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/langchain.md.txt#graph-store). - Graph QA chain for Spanner: Uses a graph to answer questions. For more information, see [Graph QA chain for Spanner](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/langchain.md.txt#graph-qa). ## March 04, 2025 Feature You can create Spanner [regional instance configurations](https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/instance-configurations#available-configurations-regional) in Stockholm, Sweden (`europe-north2`). For more information, see [Google Cloud locations](https://cloud.google.com/about/locations) and [Spanner pricing](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/pricing). Feature The following [multi-region instance configuration](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/instance-configurations.md.txt#available-configurations-multi-region) is available in Europe - `eur7` (Milan/Frankfurt/Turin). ## February 28, 2025 Feature [Full-text search](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/full-text-search.md.txt) is generally available for PostgreSQL-dialect databases. Libraries A monthly digest of client library updates from across the [Google Cloud SDK](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk). ### Go ### Changes for [spanner/admin/database/apiv1](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/tree/main/spanner/admin/database/apiv1) #### [1.74.0](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/compare/spanner/v1.73.0...spanner/v1.74.0) (2025-01-24) ##### Features -

This allows all requests to be concurrently sent over a single session, thus eliminating the requirement that you define the minimum and maximum session count. Instead, you can use any number of requests to the configured gRPC channels. This approach eliminates the possibility of session leaks and reduces the occurrences of `Transaction outcome unknown` errors. You must set an environment variable in your client to opt in to this feature. For more information, see [Multiplexed sessions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/sessions.md.txt#multiplexed_sessions). ## February 11, 2025 Feature [Managed autoscaler](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/managed-autoscaler.md.txt) is Generally Available. Managed autoscaler also supports the ability to scale read-only replicas independently from read-write replicas. By setting the compute capacity limits and CPU utilization targets, you can configure the managed autoscaler for all replicas of an instance or independently scale read-only replicas. For more information, see [Asymmetric read-only autoscaling](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/managed-autoscaler.md.txt#asymmetric-read-only-autoscaling). ## February 10, 2025 Feature Custom organization policies are generally available for Spanner. For more information, see [Add a custom organization policy](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/spanner-custom-constraints.md.txt). ## February 05, 2025 Feature Informational foreign keys are available in Spanner. Informational foreign keys don't enforce referential integrity and are used to declare the intended logical data model for query optimization. Enforced foreign keys, which enforce referential integrity, are also available. Informational foreign keys are supported by GoogleSQL only. Enforced foreign keys are supported by GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL.

The index advisor analyzes your queries to recommend new indexes or changes to existing indexes to improve the performance of your queries. For more information, see [Use the Spanner index advisor](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/index-advisor.md.txt). Feature Spanner supports [`SERIAL`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/data-types.md.txt#serial-types) and [`AUTO_INCREMENT`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-definition-language.md.txt#table_statements) DDL syntax. `SERIAL` is available in PostgreSQL-dialect databases and `AUTO_INCREMENT` is available in GoogleSQL. They streamline the ability to generate `IDENTITY` columns as primary keys. For more information, see [`SERIAL` and `AUTO_INCREMENT`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/primary-key-default-value.md.txt#serial-auto-increment). ## January 28, 2025 Feature You can downgrade your Spanner instance to a lower-tier [edition](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/editions-overview.md.txt). For more information, see [Downgrade the edition](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/create-manage-instances.md.txt#downgrade-edition). ## January 27, 2025 Feature Spanner supports the `SELECT...FOR UPDATE` query syntax in GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL-dialect databases. When you use the `SELECT` query to scan a table, add a `FOR UPDATE` clause to enable exclusive locks on the scanned data in order to reduce aborts for workloads that operate on the same data concurrently. This is similar to the `LOCK_SCANNED_RANGES` hint ([GoogleSQL](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/query-syntax.md.txt#statement_hints) and [PostgreSQL](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/query-syntax.md.txt#statement-hints)).

For more information, see [Query statistics](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/introspection/query-statistics.md.txt). ## January 10, 2025 Feature Monitor and troubleshoot queries that are running in your Spanner instance. Active queries are long-running queries that might affect the performance of your instance. Monitoring these queries can help you identify causes of instance latency and high CPU usage. For more information, see [Monitor active queries](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/monitor-active-queries.md.txt). ## December 30, 2024 Libraries A monthly digest of client library updates from across the [Google Cloud SDK](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk). ### Java ### Changes for [google-cloud-spanner](https://github.com/googleapis/java-spanner) #### [6.82.0](https://github.com/googleapis/java-spanner/compare/v6.81.2...v6.82.0) (2024-12-04) ##### Features -

You can enable or disable default backup schedules in an instance when creating the instance or by editing the instance later. You can also let default backup schedules for new databases in existing instances. You can edit or delete the default backup schedule once it's created. When enabled, Spanner creates a default backup schedule for every new database created in the instance. The default backup schedule creates a full backup every 24 hours. These backups have a retention period of 7 days. For more information, see [Default backup schedules](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/backup.md.txt#default-backup-schedules). ## November 19, 2024 Feature Spanner supports the [`ALL_DIFFERENT`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/graph-operators.md.txt#all_different_predicate) graph predicate in GoogleSQL-dialect databases. You can use this predicate to see if the graph elements in a list are mutually distinct. ## November 18, 2024 Feature You can create Spanner [regional instance configurations](https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/instance-configurations#available-configurations-regional) in Querétaro, Mexico (`northamerica-south1`). For more information, see [Google Cloud locations](https://cloud.google.com/about/locations) and [Spanner pricing](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/pricing). ## November 05, 2024 Feature Spanner supports client-side metrics for Java and Go applications. These metrics can be used with server-side metrics for faster troubleshooting of performance and latency issues. These metrics are included in the latest Spanner client libraries for the following languages: - Java in version 6.81.0 and later - Go in version 1.71.0 and later For more information, see [View and manage client-side metrics](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/view-manage-client-side-metrics.md.txt). ## October 31, 2024 Libraries A monthly digest of client library updates from across the [Google Cloud SDK](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk). ### Go ### Changes for [spanner/admin/database/apiv1](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/tree/main/spanner/admin/database/apiv1) #### [1.69.0](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/compare/spanner/v1.68.0...spanner/v1.69.0) (2024-10-03) ##### Features -

Feature Directed reads are Generally Available. This feature provides the flexibility to route read-only transactions and single reads to a specific replica type or region in a multi-region instance configuration. For more information, see [Directed reads](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/directed-reads.md.txt). ## October 14, 2024 Feature [Query Optimizer version 7](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/query-optimizer/versions.md.txt#version-7) is generally available and is the default optimizer version. ## October 10, 2024 Feature Spanner lets you create incremental backups through a backup schedule. You can specify when and how often backups are created, and how long they're retained. An incremental backup contains only the data that has changed since the previous backup. Incremental backups typically consume less storage, and can help reduce your storage costs. Incremental backups are available on the Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions. For more information about incremental backups, see [Backups overview](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/backup.md.txt#incremental-backups). Feature [Spanner](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs.md.txt) is available on [Database Center](https://docs.cloud.google.com/database-center/docs/overview.md.txt) in [Preview](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages). You can track your Spanner resources in the fleet inventory section and the resource table in the Database Center. You can also use Database Center to monitor the following health issues for your Spanner resources: - Short backup retention - Last backup older than 24h - Not replicating across regions For more information about Database Center, see [Database Center overview](https://docs.cloud.google.com/database-center/docs/overview.md.txt). For more information about health issues supported for Spanner, see [Supported health issues](https://docs.cloud.google.com/database-center/docs/database-health-issues.md.txt#supported-health-issues).

Feature Spanner supports the following PostgreSQL JSONB functions: - `jsonb_array_elements()` - `spanner.bool_array()` - `spanner.float32_array()` - `spanner.float64_array()` - `spanner.int64_array()` - `spanner.string_array()` For more information, see [JSONB functions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/functions-and-operators#jsonb_functions) and [Spanner specific JSONB functions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/functions-and-operators#spanner-jsonb-functions). Feature Spanner supports the GoogleSQL `PDML_MAX_PARALLELISM` statement-level hint. For more information, see [Statement hints](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/dml-syntax.md.txt#statement_hints). Feature The following are supported for the `INSERT` statement: - [`INSERT OR UPDATE`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/dml-syntax.md.txt#insert-or-update) and [`INSERT OR IGNORE`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/dml-syntax.md.txt#insert-ignore) DML statements support the [`THEN RETURN`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/dml-syntax.md.txt#insert-and-then-return) clause in GoogleSQL. - [`INSERT...ON CONFLICT`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/dml-syntax.md.txt#on_conflict_clause) DML statement supports the [`RETURNING`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/dml-syntax.md.txt#insert-returning) clause in PostgreSQL. - [`THEN RETURN`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/dml-syntax.md.txt#insert-and-then-return) supports the `WITH ACTION` clause in GoogleSQL.

For tables with a lot of vector data, you can create a vector index using DDL statements. This accelerates similarity searches and nearest neighbor queries using these functions in standard SQL, without copying the data to a separate system. For more information, see [Find approximate nearest neighbors to index and query vector embeddings in Spanner](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/find-approximate-nearest-neighbors.md.txt). ## July 11, 2024 Feature You can use [`EXPORT DATA`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/other-statements) statements to [reverse ETL BigQuery data to Spanner](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/export-to-spanner.md.txt). This feature is in [Preview](https://cloud.google.com/products/#product-launch-stages). ## July 03, 2024 Feature Multiplexed sessions are generally available. Multiplexed session is a new session management model which simplifies the pool management in clients.

For more information, see [Build change streams connections to Kafka](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/change-streams/use-kafka.md.txt). ## December 19, 2022 Feature You can use the `ALTER INDEX` statement to add columns into an index or drop non-key columns. For more information, see [Alter an index](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/secondary-indexes.md.txt#alter_index). ## December 14, 2022 Feature Spanner offers the [Spanner change streams to Pub/Sub Dataflow template](https://docs.cloud.google.com/dataflow/docs/guides/templates/provided-streaming#cloud-spanner-change-streams-to-pubsub), which streams Spanner data change records and writes them into Pub/Sub topics. Feature You can create a custom instance configuration and add optional read-only replicas to your custom instance configurations to scale reads and support low latency stale reads. For more information, see [Regional and multi-region configurations](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/instance-configurations.md.txt#configuration). ## December 12, 2022 Feature Support for moving a Spanner instance is generally available. You can request to move your Spanner instance from any instance configuration to any other instance configuration, including between regional and multi-region configurations. For more information, see [Move an instance](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/move-instance.md.txt). Feature An update to Spanner change streams provides two new data capture types for change records: - `NEW_VALUES` mode captures only new values in non-key columns, and no old values. Keys are always captured. - `NEW_ROW` mode captures the full new row, including columns that aren't included in updates. No old values are captured. Note that existing change streams remain set to `OLD_AND_NEW_VALUES`. ## December 06, 2022 Announcement We identified an issue in how we calculate the Total Database Storage metric in multi-regional Spanner instances. This metric is used to calculate the charges for Spanner database storage. Database storage is currently incorrectly reported lower than it actually is in multi-regional configurations, resulting in undercharging for database storage. We communicated a Service Announcement in October and started rolling out this change to pricing on December 1, 2022. Depending on your configuration, your Total Database Storage could increase by up to 25%. For the majority of impacted customers, the impact on your total bill will be less than 0.5%. For those affected, you will notice an increase in database storage charges that reflect this corrected metric. We waived the under-billed amount for all past billing cycles. Please note that this issue only affects multi-region configurations of Spanner. It doesn't affect regional configurations of Spanner. Additionally, the Total Backup Storage metric isn't affected by this issue, and has always been reported correctly. For more information, see [Database storage prices](https://cloud.google.com/spanner/pricing#database_storage). ## December 05, 2022 Feature New SQL syntax, [`RETURNING`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/postgresql/dml-syntax.md.txt#insert-returning) in the PostgreSQL dialect and [`THEN RETURN`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reference/standard-sql/dml-syntax.md.txt#insert-and-then-return) in Google Standard SQL, selects and returns data from rows that were just updated as part of a `DML` statement. This is especially useful for getting values from default or generated columns and can reduce latency over equivalent multi-statement transactions. The preview supports the Java, JDBC, Python, and Go Spanner clients as well as PostgreSQL drivers that connect through [PGAdapter](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/pgadapter#google-cloud-spanner-pgadapter). ## December 02, 2022 Feature The number of concurrent database restore operations per instance that Spanner supports has increased from five to ten. For more information, see [Backup and restore limits](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/quotas.md.txt#backup-limits). ## November 15, 2022 Feature Added support for the `JSONB` data type in the Spanner PostgreSQL dialect. For more information, see [Work with JSONB data](https://docs.cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/working-with-jsonb.md.txt).
