In PostgreSQL performance testing, benchmarks measure query execution time (latency). To get more reliable results, queries are executed repeatedly, generating a dataset of latency values. Performance is often assessed using standard metrics like the median or mean, but we propose a more advanced approach.
In practice, latency distributions are often multimodal, consisting of multiple underlying distributions with distinct characteristics. In such cases, traditional statistical methods are insufficient, requiring a more detailed analysis of the dataset’s structure.
Our work presents a tool that automatically performs statistical analysis of benchmark results, accounting for dataset-specific features. It detects multimodality, identifies the number and boundaries of dominant modes, and determines key distribution parameters—providing deeper insights into PostgreSQL performance variations.

In this talk, we will discuss what character encodings and collations are. I will explain the issues that can arise from sorting (COLLATION) in databases and show how these problems can be addressed using the COLLATION PROVIDER = ICU feature in PostgreSQL.

In this talk, we’ll:
-
Share our experience of reworking the ECM system and platform that was originally built on C.Net + MS SQL for Windows to run on Linux + Postgres, while maintaining the option to install and operate on Windows + MS.
-
Discuss migrating clients to new platforms with data migration.
-
Share insights from operating the system with a high-load client (PG servers with 192 cores and 3 TB of RAM).

Poolers play a crucial role in PostgreSQL database operations. In this talk, we’ll discuss the challenges we faced when using and implementing existing poolers and the benefits we gained by developing our own pooler.
