Tracking poor queries is an infinity quest for developers, who works with databases. Often we think that it is guilty the slow and big queries. But what to do if we do not have that kind of queries between backend and database? Which kind of queries should we looking for? What tools should be used for that work? This talk will cover all these questions.

PostgreSQL is one of the most readily extensible databases in the world. Custom data types, aggregations, functions, and more can be easily and safely written in C.

This hands-on tutorial covers the basics of writing functions, data types, and aggregates in C. It is recommended (though not strictly required) that bring their own laptops and be prepared to actually try the exercises.

Topics covered include: 1. The PostgreSQL type system 2. Creating a simple custom type in C 3. Common errors for non-C programmers 4. Creating a simple aggregate in C

There will be many opportunities for questions and discussion through the tutorial.

· Enterprise network traits, known problems and workarounds.

· Year-long background of maintaining 24x7 1C + PostgreSQL systems

· Pros and cons in comparison with MS SQL from DBA point

· Stories of 1C systems migration from MS SQL to PostgreSQL

You will have a fascinating journey through PostgreSQL settings. We will talk about that with 1C not so or on the contrary so that under it it is necessary to adjust specially DBMS. We will discuss approaches to testing the speed of 1C. Consider the various options for backup schemes and fault tolerance. In the process, we will compare the speed of 1C on PostgreSQL configured by default with the speed of 1C configured for PostgreSQL. Also, we will create a replica of PostgreSQL, and switch to it the 1C Server "live", see what users will see 1C during this operation. And a separate block will be devoted to Postgres Pro Enterprise Edition, how the use of its advantages affects the speed of 1C.
