Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet

Thanks to Boris Novikov, who pointed me in the PAX direction in the first place and followed up with many insightful technical discussions. I’m grateful for all his time and the great conversations we’ve had and continue to have. To dive deeper into the mechanics of PAX, I highly recommend checking out my previous post: PAX: The cache performance you’re looking for. PAX looks elegant on paper: minipages, cache locality, column-oriented access inside an 8KB page.
