Towards more efficient query plans: PostgreSQL 11 and beyond
A major responsibility of a database engine is to convert a declarative SQL query to an efficient execution plan, employing various methods to scan and join the relations. There is always a development effort to improve this area. What clever execution plans can PostgreSQL generate, what's new in version 11 and what is in development? To name a few things, the joins are optimized by removing unneeded outer and inner joins, and reducing joins from outer and semi to inner. There is work to enable merge joins on inequality and range overlap, and to improve join selectivity estimates with multi-column statistics. When it comes to scanning a single relation, covering indexes allow to use index-only scans more often. Incremental sort and more precise estimation of sorting costs help generate better paths when sorted output is required, e.g. when using GROUP BY and ORDER BY or performing merge joins. This talk aims to give an overview of such optimizations that already exist and that are being developed now.

Arthur Zakirov Postgres ProfessionalUsing pg_variables as temporary tables
PostgreSQL provides possibility to create temporary tables. Though a temporary table is accessible only to a single session and is removed at the end of the session, all information about it is stored in the system catalogs of PostgreSQL. This is related to several issues, which make it difficult or impossible to use temporary tables in some cases. There are attempts to solve this feature, including in our company. But they have not yet succeeded, mainly because of the PostgreSQL engine. In the talk I want to tell about simple and small pg_variables extension. It allows you to create table variables along with scalar ones. I will tell how it can replace temporary tables, what advantages and disadvantages it has.

Alexander Korotkov Postgres ProfessionalWhat should we expect from PostgreSQL 12?
PostgreSQL 12 Feature Freeze is scheduled for April 2019, which didn't come yet. But general shapes of upcoming release are already visible. In this talk I'll consider patches already committed to PostgreSQL 12 as well as patches, which would be committed very likely. I'll talk with special passion about SQL/JSON, Merge, pluggable table access methods and zheap.
