The french PostgreSQL Conference, pgday.fr, was yesterday in Lyon. We had a very good time and a great schedule with a single track packed with 7 talks, addressing a diverse set of PostgreSQL related topics, from GIS to fuzzy logic, including replication. You might have guessed it already, I did talk about replication. Here’s the slide deck I did use, it’s in french, sorry if you don’t grok that language.

Last week was the annual PostgreSQL Hackers gathering in Canada, thanks to the awesome pgcon conference. This year’s issue has been packed with good things, beginning with the Cluster Summit then followed the next day by the Developer Meeting just followed (yes, in the same day) with the In Core Replication Meeting. That was a packed shedule! The in core replication project has been presented with slides titled Future In-Core Replication for PostgreSQL and got a very good reception.

Another great conference took place last week, PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2011 was in Amsterdam and plenty of us PostgreSQL geeks were too. I attended to lot of talks and did learn some more about our project, its community and its features, but more than that it was a perfect occasion to meet with the community. Dave Page talked about SQL/MED under the title PostgreSQL at the center of your dataverse and detailed what to expert from a Foreign Data Wrapper in PostgreSQL 9.

The next PostgreSQL conference is approaching very fast now, I hope you have your ticket already: it’s a very promissing event! If you want some help in deciding whether to register or not, just have another look at the schedule. Pick the talks you want to see. It’s hard, given how packed with good ones the schedule is. When you’re mind is all set, review the list. Registered? I’ll be presenting another talk about extensions, but this time I’ve geared up to use cases, with Extensions are good for business logic.

In case you’re wondering, here are the slides from the CHAR(11) talk I gave, about Skytools 3.0, soon to be released. That means as soon as I have enough time available to polish (or write) the documentation. The slides for all the talks should eventually make their way to a central place, but expect some noticable delay here. Sorry about that, and have a good reading meanwhile!
