Heterogeneous distributed system - as a way to safely migrate from MSSQL Server to PostgreSQL, as well as reduce sanctions risks

This report is primarily intended for companies, specifically their IT departments, that are running Russian systems 1C 8.x and have the ability to work with both MSSQL Server and PostgreSQL. We live in a unique time when having a heterogeneous IT system (a system with a distributed architecture where each database instance runs under different databases and/or has a different data structure) is justified both economically and in terms of potential risks. On the one hand, we store data and use databases with predictable behavior and open source code, regardless of the political situation. On the other hand, with this approach, we take advantage of all the benefits (primarily performance) of a powerful database supported by the largest vendor, albeit a hostile state to us. Now is the time to assess risks with the necessary level of paranoia. After all, data can be corrupted not only at the level of storage logic, but also by the method of additional "hidden" calls of Delete/Update constructs at the engine level of the database. Therefore, it is now relevant not only to monitor the performance of the IT system, but also to audit data and their timely integrity. It is necessary to implement data verification procedures, it is necessary to implement procedures for closing periods, procedures for fault-tolerant storage. And accordingly, to provide for various threat models in data recovery procedures. The report presents options for countering such threats and scenarios for the most seamless transition of large databases to PostgreSQL, since it is precisely for such databases that the problem of translating to a new DBMS is particularly acute.

    Building the protection system based on Postgres DBMS

    Why would you need the domestic DBMS? 1. Because of law requirements: only domestic DBMSes are appropriate for data protection. 2. In terms of formalization: currently, it is impossible to purchase MS in Russia legally. 3. In terms of pricing: the licensing mechanism of foreign DBMS systems significantly increases the expenditures on protection. 4. In terms of performance: it depends on the optimization of information protection tools, which are currently developed for domestic DBMS systems (in order to reveal why you may refer to the first paragraph). 5. In terms of practice: by the end of last year we’ve finished transition to the domestic databases and everything works smoothly. What else does an information security officer need?

    The new sights of observability in Postgres and PostgresPro databases

    In this talk I’ll show some new abilities in postgres observability. There will be Graphana visualization of pg_profile/pgpro_pwr data, manual highlighting of interesting objects in pg_profile/pgpro_pwr reports, further development of extended vacuum statistics in PostgresPro releases and a new session and query tracing technique in pgpro_stats extension

    Practical cases for query optimization in PostgreSQL

    In my opinion, every DBA has to deal with "heavy" queries. The question is whether we can do something at all to speed up such query. Is it possible to optimize such queries, or maybe it doesn't make sense? For example, rewriting such query may take much longer than getting any performance gain from this rewritten query. During this talk, I'll tackle several approaches to speeding up queries, and demonstrate some practical examples of optimizations that I use at work.
