Description

PostgreSQL 18, expected late 2025, ​includes virtual generated column support.

When PostgreSQL 18 is testable, we can update the associated database feature to a cached property that checks the server version: ​https://github.com/django/django/blob/d5c19f9b327fccc1f707e10de648fe9d4cdacb9b/django/db/backends/postgresql/features.py#L76

According to the ticket's flags, the next step(s) to move this issue forward are:

  • Unknown. The Someday/Maybe triage stage is used to keep track of high-level ideas or long term feature requests.

    It could be an issue that's blocked until a future version of Django (if so, Keywords will contain that version number). It could also be an enhancement request that we might consider adding someday to the framework if an excellent patch is submitted.

    If you're interested in contributing to the issue, raising your ideas on the Django Forum would be a great place to start.

Triage Stage: Accepted → Someday/Maybe

Going to update to "Someday/Maybe" until PostgreSQL 18 is available.
