PGConf.Russia 2022

The talk covers the use of PostgreSQL, LUI and LUI4ORA2PG for building an analytical reporting system.

The talk tackles the following topics:

• migration from an Oracle environment;
• application of JSON functions;
• how the temporary tables helped us;
• our own means for load testing and bottlenecks detection;
• how to make beautiful GeoJSON format maps to display diagrams on them;
• installation and testing of the system on an "Elbrus" computer;
• what became an obstacle or was missing when using PostgreSQL.

The history of growth of the Live Universal Interface (LUI) web application development tool and the LUI4ORA2PG migration tool can be found in our previous presentations at PGConf conferences:

The release cycle for version 15 is nearing completion. At the time of the presentation, the complete list of changes will not be known. But for sure there will be something to talk about.

Implementation of ETL is one of the first tasks that any PostgreSQL user needs to solve. There is a misconception that low-code tools implementing ETL procedures reduce requirements for the user, but due to sacrificing performance and/or flexibility to this goal. The presentation will demonstrate that it is possible to design ETL procedures quickly and easily without losing productivity. We will explain how high speed is ensured, how PostgreSQL features are used and how the combination of PostgreSQL and low-code platforms allows you to get rid of one of the most frequent user pains.

The myths and misconceptions of software import substitution. The acute threat of non-working DBMS servers. The basic plans for import substitution and problems of the transition period. DBMS data protection and the image of an ideal protection system. Crypto BD is the cryptographic data protection system. How does it work?
