PgConf.Russia 2017

Debugging, profiling, and tracing of the executed commands play an important role in development of any applications. This is also true for developing stored procedures in DBMS.

PostgreSQL offers various tools (both built-in and external) for these purposes.

In this talk, we will provide an overview of the available tools and their advantages and disadvantages, as well as a detailed demo of their use cases.

This talk is a part of a basic course for backend application developers (DEV1), which “Postgres Professional” company plans to announce in the near future.

We will discuss some tricks and patterns while developing web-application architecture based on ORM technology with Postgresql functions implementation with Python Django as an example. Also we will consider some ways of building the business logic inside a database with keeping Django framework opportunities and implementation of it's built-in admin panel.

The new ISO/IEC 9075-2:2016 standard specifies JSON data and operations syntax and semantics specifics for SQL. This talk overviews the requirements of this standard, and focuses on the differences between them and the actual implementation of JSON/JSONB in PostgreSQL. Special attention will be paid to JSON Path (XPath analogue), SQL/JSON functions and our plans to make Postgres compliant with this standard.
