Real-word data often need cryptographycal protection. The presentation describes typical problems that can be solved using cryptographycal methods and the right ways to use cryptography with RDBMS. The newest solutions suggested for usage with PostgreSQL are described.

In the data persistence layer, using PostgreSQL from the very start of development, we went all the way from a small cluster on a virtual machine to a multi-host system that provides near real-time processing of mixed OLTP/OLAP load. In this talk, I’m going to tell you about the main development stages of our analytical solution at the application and infrastructure levels, and describe the specifics of using PG that we encountered.

Currently, to execute SQL queries PostgreSQL uses interpreter, which implements Volcano-style iteration model. At the same time it’s possible to get significant speedup by dynamically JIT-compiling query “on-the-fly”. In this case it’s possible to generate code that is specialized for given SQL query, and perform compiler optimizations using the information about table structure and data types that is already known at run time. This approach is especially important for complex queries, which performance is CPU-bound.
