Ryan Lambert: PostgreSQL 16 improves infinity: PgSQLPhriday #012

1. September 2023 - 4:00

This month's #pgsqlphriday challenge is the 12th PgSQL Phriday, marking the end of the first year of the event! Before getting into this month's topic I want to give a shout out to Ryan Booz for starting #pgsqlphriday. More importantly though, a huge thank you to the hosts and contributors from the past year!

vignesh C: Bi-directional replication using origin filtering in PostgreSQL

31. August 2023 - 3:00

In this blog post, I will give a brief introduction to a new PostgreSQL 16 feature that allows bi-directional replication by filtering by origin.

Adam Hendel: Optimizing Postgres's Auto-Vacuum for Blazingly-High-Churn Tables

31. August 2023 - 2:00

Database systems use various techniques to ensure transactionality and performance. For Postgres, this is called MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control). MVCC allows Postgres to provide great performance even when multiple clients could be working with the same table concurrently.

It is useful to be aware of Postgres’ MVCC implementation to understand how Postgres manages a table’s physical storage. Internally, Postgres refers to rows as “tuples”. And as a baseline, there are two big ideas to keep in mind about how Postgres implements changes to rows in a table:

Bruce Momjian: Open Source Bait and Switch: Licensing and Beyond

30. August 2023 - 20:15

Having been involved in open source for thirty years, I have seen many open source distribution methods, packaging systems, licensing options, and business models.

Jobin Augustine: PostgreSQL Parameters: Scope and Priority Users Should Know

30. August 2023 - 15:45

PostgreSQL allows its users to set parameters at different scopes, and the same parameter can be specified at different places and using different methods. And there could be conflicts. Someone might be wondering why certain changes are not coming into effect, so it is important to understand/recollect the scope and priority of settings.

In this blog, I am trying to list the options available for users and list them in increasing order of priority. The purpose is to give a high-level view to users.

Syed Salman Ahmed Bokhari: How to execute Transactions in PostgreSQL?

30. August 2023 - 14:48

This blog focuses on the importance of transactions and how to use them in PostgreSQL.

The post How to execute Transactions in PostgreSQL? appeared first on Stormatics.

Robert Bernier: Data Redundancy With the PostgreSQL Citus Extension

29. August 2023 - 15:52

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to architect all sorts of configurations using Postgres as a backend. I’ve always found it very cool and satisfying to implement sophisticated business rules, often in more ways than one has fingers and toes. So, it’s not an understatement when I say that Citus is one of the more interesting technologies that I’ve come across when scaling PostgreSQL.

Dan Garcia: Release Radar: EDB Postgres Distributed on EDB BigAnimal Now Available

29. August 2023 - 15:51
In announcing our latest EDB BigAnimal release today, EDB brings best-in-class high availability to Postgres databases running on any cloud. With this release, enterprises can successfully deploy geo-distributed architectures for their Postgres databases.

Elizabeth Garrett Christensen: Top 10 Postgres Management Tasks

29. August 2023 - 15:00
1. Add a statement timeout

Postgres databases are very compliant, they do what you tell them until you tell them to stop. It is really common for a runaway process, query, or even something a co-worker runs to accidentally start a never ending transaction in your database. This potentially uses up memory, i/o, or other resources.

Postgres has no preset default for this. To find out your current setting:

Sergey Pronin: Bootstrap PostgreSQL on Kubernetes

29. August 2023 - 14:08

PostgreSQL has become increasingly popular in modern cloud-native environments. However, managing PostgreSQL clusters on Kubernetes can be a complex task. This is where the Percona Operator comes into play, offering a powerful solution to deploy and manage PostgreSQL clusters effortlessly. Developers often seek an easy way to bootstrap the clusters with data so that applications can start running immediately. It is especially important for CICD pipelines, where automation plays a crucial role.

Peter Eisentraut: All kinds of licenses

29. August 2023 - 6:00

After the recent news that HashiCorp has changed the licenses of its hitherto-open-source products, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the licenses that have sprung up around PostgreSQL and adjacent and related communities, since quite a bit has changed there recently, and it’s hard to keep track.

(Maybe HashiCorp is not really directly adjacent to PostgreSQL, but the license it chose (see below) came from the database space. Also, there is some overlap of users.)

Andrew Atkinson: SaaS for Developers with Gwen Shapira — Postgres, Performance and Rails with Andrew Atkinson 🎙️

28. August 2023 - 2:00

A few months ago I joined the SaaS Developer Community to learn more about challenges SaaS developers face.

The community has a podcast series with guests discussing technical topics related to SaaS.

I recently had the chance to join the host Gwen on the podcast series in an episode discussing PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, and high performance for web applications.

In this post I’ll recap and expand on some points from our discussion.

Jonathan Katz: pgvector 0.5.0 Feature Highlights and HOWTOs

28. August 2023 - 2:00

It’s here! pgvector 0.5.0 is released and has some incredible new features. pgvector is an open-source project that brings vector database capabilities to PostgreSQL. The pgvector community is moving very rapidly on adding new features, so I thought it prudent to put together some highlights of the 0.5.0 release.

Christoph Berg: PostgreSQL Popularity Contest

26. August 2023 - 23:49

Back in 2015, when PostgreSQL 9.5 alpha 1 was released, I had posted the PostgreSQL data from Debian's popularity contest.

8 years and 8 PostgreSQL releases later, the graph now looks like this:

David Z: Customizing SQL Functions in PostgreSQL: Exploring Various Approaches

25. August 2023 - 23:09
1. Overview

PostgreSQL is a great open-source database management system that offers users a lot of options to meet their unique requirements. One of the strengths of PostgreSQL is its flexibility in creating customized SQL functions. In this blog post, We’ll use the example of a basic function called get_sum to demonstrate various approaches.

2. build a SQL function in different ways

First of all, let’s assume you want to build a SQL function to calcualte the sum of two integers.

Woot! Woot!

Can you believe it? We’ve made it one complete year! This is the final invitation for the first year of PGSQL Phriday!

I’ll let the invitation blog and challenge summary speak for itself. Suffice it to say, PostgreSQL 16 is just around the corner!!!

Christopher Winslett: Scaling Vector Data with Postgres

25. August 2023 - 15:00

Vector data has made its way into Postgres and I’m seeing more and more folks using it by the day. As I’ve seen use cases trickle in, I have been thinking a lot about scaling data and how to set yourself up for performance success from the beginning. The two primary trade-offs are performance versus accuracy. When seeking performance with vector data, we are using nearest neighbor algorithms, and those algorithms are built around probability of proximity.
