Will be demonstrated in the master-class the following: 1). The benefits of declarative programming. Rapid creation of complex LUI-forms using only SQL. 2). Support for long transactions and automatic locks. An example of a wizard with a record directly in the database. 3). The multilingual fields and columns. Rapid inclusion of multilingualism in existing forms. 4). Control the coloring of data in fields and columns of the form. Typical examples. 5). Live search in input fields using the example of address input. 6). How to configure the LUI to enter and display of application-specific data. 7). Design form Master Detail with retrieving data from two different databases. 8). How end-user builds of complex data queries without using SQL.

In this tutorial, we will solve several programming problems using JSON functionality that extends SQL capabilities and virtually turns a relational database into an almost ready-to-use application server. :)
We will learn how to use aggregates, both standard and custom, as well as review possible benefits of JSON recursive structure.

I will speak about our experience in solving the fault-tolerance problem for PostgreSQL, which options we reviewed and how we chose Patroni.

I will cover solution testing, quick implementation to the production and issues we faced as well as the way we solved them.

Any DBA needs some kind of tool for historical workload analyse. Assume once at morning your monitoring team will report of sudden performance degradation at 2-3 a.m., and now you need to investigate this issue. What activities was most resource consuming within that hour? There are several tools for solving this problem, and I'll talk about one very easy and convenient tool - pg_profile. It need only a postgres database and a cron-like tool to run, and it will generate a workload profile report for your database as you need it. Ths report will be a good start point for further investigation.
