История одной миграции

In this talk we want to present how Microsoft team composed of people from two different teams approached the project and solved the migration issues using ora2pg and was able to prove that Postgres Single Server can perform equally well as Oracle Exadata. We will present our ways of working and also some main technical challenges that we faced including migration of BULK COLLECT’s, hierarchical queries, refcursors and others more complicated Oracle constructs.

The story about a challenging PoC that proved that Postgres can achieve the same performance as Oracle Exadata. The schema that was migrated wasn’t the simplest one you might see. It was quite the opposite. The code was loaded with dynamic queries, BULK COLLECT’s, nested loops, CONNECT BY statements, global variables and lot of dependencies. Ora2pg did a great job converting the schema but left a lot of work to do manually. Also estimates produced by the tool were highly inaccurate since the logic required not the migration but total re-architecture of the code. In this talk we want to present how Microsoft team composed of people from two different teams approached the project and solved the migration issues using ora2pg and was able to prove that Postgres Single Server can perform equally well as Oracle Exadata. We will present our ways of working and also some main technical challenges that we faced including:

  • How estimates do (not) work
  • How we handled BULK COLLECT’s
  • Why we got rid of refcursors
  • How we got stuck with testing of one the packages and how the help from a friend solved the problem
  • How we handled hierarchical queries and drilling down the hierarchy

    Python для PostgreSQL: как его использовать и преуспеть в этом?

    Let's see, with practical examples, how to make Python and PostgreSQL talk to each other seamlessly: how to connect to a server, how to exchange data, manage transactions, passing parameters in a safe and expressive way, how to manage notifications.

    We will cover psycopg2, the most used PostgreSQL adapter for Python, but also look and the up and coming psycopg3: what will remain the same, what will change, how to better organise a Python program to make the most of PostgreSQL.

    Современное хранилище данных на основе PostgreSQL

    PostgreSQL has a long history in DWH. Netezza, Redshift, and Greenplum have turned specific PostgreSQL releases into DWH solutions. Nowadays, with the trends in PostgreSQL towards performance improvements (better partitioning, better statistics, JIT Compilation, etc.) and advanced PostgreSQL extensions, like the Swarm64 Data Accelerator, you can create a forward-looking, no lock-in, versatile, and reliable DWH. This talk will cover the PostgreSQL and DWH trends and touch on key arguments for choosing open source PostgreSQL for DWH.

    Ускорение быстрого текстового поиска с помощью индекса RUM

    Fast text search queries can be made even faster with indexing on lexemes inside compound records of tsvector format. RUM index is an open-source PostgreSQL extension. It represents a big improvement of GIN index and it can index lexemes with additional information e.g. tsvector lexeme weight-mark. So it can support tsvector capabilities more.

    Until recently it was needed to recheck results of weight-containing queries by table. My modification (2020) is to make the processing of this kind of queries index-only and therefore much faster.

    Also, I will describe and provide benchmarks for different usage cases for fast text search. We'll see how RUM index can improve the performance and compare it with PostgreSQL internal GIN index.

    Отказоустойчивый кластер PostgreSQL с помощью crmsh

    Some OS distributions do not have a pcs configuration utility to create a high availability cluster PostgreSQL. In this case, the crm utility from the crmsh package will help us. It is more difficult to use, but powerful and effective.

    In my master class, I will show how to use this utility, as well as configure a failover cluster in different configurations.
