We will present adaptive query optimization techniques and key capabilities of the new version of AQO and SR_PLAN extensions.

As you probably know, PostgreSQL has a number of distinct features compared to other DBMSs. For example, Postgres can process and store many different types of data. However, you need to know something about them before using them. In this talk, we will find the reason why queries to the table begin to slow down (and autovacuum / vacuum has nothing to do with it) and try to speed up such queries. I will tell you how integer data types work in PostgreSQL and touch on the topic of speeding up such queries. And finally, let's talk about how to make your data in tables take up less space while increasing the speed of queries to this data.

Postgres Pro Enterprise is based on open source PostgreSQL. However, the difference is significant: the current version of Postgres Pro Enterprise has 40 more features that are not a part of PostgreSQL. 20 more mechanisms are being developed either as built-in features or separate products. This includes BiHA, DBaaS, pg_probackup, etc. In this presentation, we'll briefly discuss some of them.

Recently, one of the most common migration methods has become migration using the free ora2pg tool. However, many note the extremely low performance of this tool, especially when it comes to databases of 1 Terabyte and above. This presentation describes how to significantly speed up database migration using oracle_fdw alone or in combination with ora2pg.
