I’ve been given a nice puzzle that I think is a good blog article opportunity, as it involves some thinking and window functions.
PostgreSQL 9.2 is released! It’s an awesome new release that I urge you to consider trying and adopting, an upgrade from even 9.1 should be very well worth it, as your hardware could suddenly be able to process a much higher load. Indeed, better performances mean more work done on the same budget, that’s the name of the game!
As a PostgreSQL contributor though, the release of 9.2 mainly means to me that it’s time to fully concentrate on preparing 9.
The PostgreSQL community host a number of conferences all over the year, and the next ones I’m lucky enough to get to are approaching fast now. First, next month in September, we have Postgres Open in Chicago, where my talk about Large Scale Migration from MySQL to PostgreSQL has been selected!
This talk shares hindsights about the why and the how of that migration, what problems couldn’t be solved without moving away and how the solution now looks.
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.
