Many businesses which use Database management systems like Oracle, DB2 & MS SQL are unreliable these days. Moreover, the costs incurred in maintaining these systems and its product licenses keeps on increasing. As the competitors are migrating over to the new technologies and tools available in the market, it is necessary for these businesses to migrate to new environment which is efficient, consistent and reliable to stay in the market and the technologies used in the current environment have become obsolete or no longer serve the business purpose. PostgreSQL has emerged as a top open-source RDBMS software. Since there is no licensing cost associated with it most of the companies are planning to migrate the databases which are currently running on other RDBMS like Oracle, DB2, MS SQL server to PostgreSQL. This report summarizes the various methodologies, procedures and techniques involved in successfully migrating the data from Oracle to PostgreSQL & DB2 to PostgreSQL. Migration is not a simple effort there should be proper planning and testing involved in this right from database connectivity to performance analysis. In this paper we are going to cover most of the steps which we need to consider before the migration and after the migration like choosing the correct tools for implementing the migration, time taken to migrate ,data compatibility, code conversion, application connectivity to database, database configuration parameters, performance analysis, replication setups, database monitoring, patching and backup strategies.

На мастер-классе научимся проводить быстрые нагрузочные тесты баз данных Postgres: оптимизаций конфигов базы, структуры данных, индексов, настроек ОС и т. д. Для этого создадим код, из него поднимем инфраструктуру для теста и проведём сам тест. В результате получим гибкий инструмент в коде, к которому можно прикрутить любой мониторинг и за который не надо платить большие деньги, т.к стенд создаётся за 7 минут в пустой AWS учётке и убивается после проведения тестов. Для этого мастер-класса есть важная подготовка, которую нужно сделать заранее, чтобы в полной мере попробовать все, что спикер хочет предложить. Один шаг не быстрый - нужно сделать триальную учетную запись в AWS. Для этого требуется подтверждение регистрации от Amazon, которое они делают в течении 24 часов (если вы ранее работали в AWS, и у вас есть учетка - это хорошо, если нет - нужно пройти этот путь) Также, лучше заранее поставить последние версии ansible и terraform.

Porting applications from Oracle to Postgres is common work today. Unfortunately it is not without problems. In presentation I'll try to show the basic performance problems related to differences between Oracle and Postgres and PL/SQL and PL/pgSQL.

MobilityDB is an open source moving object database system (https://github.com/ULB-CoDE-WIT/MobilityDB). Its core function is to efficiently store and query mobility tracks, such as vehicle GPS trajectories. It implements the Moving Features specification from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). MobiltyDB is engineered up from PostgreSQL and PostGIS, providing spatiotemporal data management via SQL. It thus integrates with the postgreSQL eco-system allowing for complex architectures such as mobility stream processing and cloud deployments.

The presentation will explain the architecture of MobilityDB, its database types, indexes, and operations. We will highlight the PostgreSQL features that enable this extension, and the would like to have features. This presentation will be of special interest to the PostgreSQL community, and to professionals in the transportation domain.
