Extending PostgreSQL in C: A Tutorial

PostgreSQL is one of the most readily extensible databases in the world. Custom data types, aggregations, functions, and more can be easily and safely written in C.

This hands-on tutorial covers the basics of writing functions, data types, and aggregates in C. It is recommended (though not strictly required) that bring their own laptops and be prepared to actually try the exercises.

Topics covered include: 1. The PostgreSQL type system 2. Creating a simple custom type in C 3. Common errors for non-C programmers 4. Creating a simple aggregate in C

There will be many opportunities for questions and discussion through the tutorial.

Уровни изоляции транзакций в постгресе

Про уровни изоляции транзакций обычно все что-то слышали, но, как ни странно, мало кто может внятно рассказать, что же это такое и зачем надо, в то же время для многих операций ясное понимание того, что под этим подразумевается и как это влияет на результат может быть весьма значительным. В самом деле, если клиенту выплатили двойную сумму и перед программистом встает перспектива личного возмещения нанесенных убытков, то вряд ли тогда этот параметр покажется таким уж маловажным.

Тому, как этого избежать, и посвящен этот доклад.

MobilityDB: Managing Mobility Data in PostgreSQL

MobilityDB is an open source moving object database system (https://github.com/ULB-CoDE-WIT/MobilityDB). Its core function is to efficiently store and query mobility tracks, such as vehicle GPS trajectories. It implements the Moving Features specification from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). MobiltyDB is engineered up from PostgreSQL and PostGIS, providing spatiotemporal data management via SQL. It thus integrates with the postgreSQL eco-system allowing for complex architectures such as mobility stream processing and cloud deployments.

The presentation will explain the architecture of MobilityDB, its database types, indexes, and operations. We will highlight the PostgreSQL features that enable this extension, and the would like to have features. This presentation will be of special interest to the PostgreSQL community, and to professionals in the transportation domain.

Introducing Bagger: Massive Application Log Management on PostgreSQL

This talk discusses the open source components we use at Adjust to manage a massive number (5+PB) of application log messages on PostgreSQL in a massively multi-parallel way. It provides both a use case for PostgreSQL in a big data (high volume/velocity/variety) environment, and can be used to show the power of PostgreSQL with JSONB, GIN, and more.

This talk covers the capabilities of the components in depth, sufficient to inspire similar solutions.
