QGIS and PostgreSQL working well together

Creating an extension for Postgres is an experience worthy of immense satisfaction. You get to contribute to the extension ecosystem while providing valuable functionality to other Postgres users. It’s also an incredibly challenging exercise in many ways, so we’re glad you’ve returned to learn a bit more about building Postgres extensions.In the previous article in this series, we discussed creating an extension to block DDL.

In October 2025, PostgreSQL Conference Europe brought the community together in Riga, Latvia from the 21st to the 24th.

Application Developer and Community Subcommittee

My first thought seeing a temporal join in 2008 was, “Why is this query so complex?” The company I was at relied heavily on database queries, as it was a CRM and student success tracking system for colleges and universities. The query returned a filtered list of users and their last associated record from a second table. The hard part about the query isn’t returning the last timestamp or even performing joins, it’s returning only their last associated record from a second table.
