PgConf.Russia 2019

I'm going to talk about emerging technologies in the area of general purpose RDBMS indexing. I will describe different approaches suitable for different workloads. We will discuss ideas from academic researches and corresponding industrial response from developers, communities, and companies. There will be the short live-coding session on creating DIY index in PostgreSQL.

Our company has developed a software product Live Universal Interface (LUI) is a tool to quickly create and modify standardized on-screen forms to WEB browsers without compiling code, know just enough SQL. LUI is aimed at B2B, B2G, G2C and B2C segments and intended for use in billing systems, financial management, accounting and control of production, where you must decide first and foremost functional tasks, rather than demonstrate unnecessary graphics elements.

Collective elaboration is provided by storing all elements of program code in the total database, which can be located on the corporate server or in the "cloud" on a third-party site.

Python may not be the fastest programming language on the CPU, but its fast and easy development saves a lot of costs between the keyboard and the chair. In this workshop we'll explore the most popular library for the access to the PostgreSQL server named "psycopg2" and write a short application using some of its useful features.

As an experienced Oracle DBA, I've discovered some distinctive features of PostgreSQL which I'd like to share with you. We'll review a set of essential tools for DBAs, their capabilities and usefulness in comparison to their Oracle counterparts. Also I'm going to summarize the core differences between Oracle DB and PostgreSQL in terms of administrating.
