    This talk explores the challenges we encountered — and solved — while migrating massive databases from Oracle to PostgreSQL.

    One of the most complex aspects of this process was rebuilding foreign keys (FKs). To overcome these challenges, we had to dive deep into the internal workings of FK creation and validation.

    Key topics include:

    Does ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT ... FOREIGN KEY have an execution plan?

    Can an ordinary user influence this process?

    What locks are applied during FK creation and validation?

    Also, we’ll introduce a first-principles method for investigating performance issues, applying it to a real-world FK creation bottleneck.

    In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, PostgreSQL has emerged as a popular choice for organizations seeking to leverage the power of open-source databases while maintaining scalability, performance, and flexibility. 

    As enterprises migrate from proprietary database systems like Oracle to PostgreSQL, developers face the challenge of adapting existing PL/SQL codebases to PL/pgSQL. Despite the similarities between these two procedural languages, significant differences in their syntax, performance characteristics, and ecosystem features require a thoughtful approach to migration and optimization. 

    This session will focus on highlighting the key differences between Oracle’s PL/SQL and PostgreSQL’s PL/pgSQL, providing actionable insights on how to efficiently navigate these differences during migration. A deep dive will be taken into critical areas including compilation methodology, Code Debugging , Exception Handling, work_mem , Bulk Load and more.

    Databases are a core component of any information system, and query performance directly impacts overall efficiency.

    Last year, we explored suboptimal queries and optimization techniques, and the topic proved highly relevant. In this second installment, we’ll cover:

    Using extended statistics for computed columns

    Pagination techniques for improved query handling

    Real-world optimization examples from 1C
