Webinar: PostgreSQL continuous backup and PITR with Barman [Follow Up]

June 15, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

How can you achieve an RTO of 5 minutes for the backups of your PostgreSQL databases? And what about RPO=0 for zero data loss backups? To tackle such questions and more, 2ndQuadrant arranged a live webinar “PostgreSQL continuous backup and PITR with Barman”. The session was hosted by Gabriele Bartolini, Head of Support at 2ndQuadrant. […]

Webinar: PostgreSQL deployments & TPAexec [Follow Up]

June 5, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

TPAexec is an orchestration tool that uses Ansible to build Postgres clusters that follow Trusted Postgres Architecture (TPA). TPA basically includes a set of recommendations from 2ndQuadrant about how to set up a Postgres cluster in various scenarios. These represent the best practices followed by 2ndQuadrant, and are as applicable to quick testbed setups as […]

Webinar: Cloud Native BDR and PostgreSQL [Follow Up]

June 2, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

Cloud-Native BDR is a multi-master database system based on PostgreSQL and designed for Kubernetes 1.15+ that thanks to the WriteAnywhere architecture, allows your applications to reach up to 6-nines uptime availability in a year. To further explore this topic, 2ndQuadrant arranged a live webinar, “Cloud Native BDR and PostgreSQL”, hosted by Gabriele Bartolini.  This webinar […]

Webinar: Tuple Freezing & Transaction Wrap around Through Pictures [Follow Up]

May 27, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

The Postgres Implementation of Multi-Version Concurrency Control has many technical advantages and strengths. However, if you are deploying a large database, with a heavy write update, insert and delete workload, the concepts around Transaction wrap around are very important to understand — so proper design, monitoring, and administration decisions can be made. To explore this […]

Webinar: Collations: Introduction, Features, Problems [Follow Up]

May 19, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

The collation feature allows specifying the sort order and character classification behavior of data per-column, or even per-operation. The sort order of text in an SQL database is influenced by these so-called collations. These usually work behind the scenes, but they offer a number of interesting customization possibilities, while also being a potential source of […]

Webinar: MVCC and Vacuum Basics in PostgreSQL [Follow Up]

May 8, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

PostgreSQL uses MVCC to handle concurrent clients through snapshots instead of locks. This lets the server handle a larger transaction load and allows for a rich set of tools for developers to access data concurrently. In order to get a deeper understanding of MVCC and Vacuum basics in PostgreSQL, as well as the pros and […]

Webinar: KNN Indexing in PostgreSQL [Follow Up]

May 4, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

K-nearest neighbor is a proximity algorithm to find data in order of distance. Typically, this data cannot be indexed in advance, as both the centroid and the data can be in constant motion.  PostgreSQL provides efficient searching algorithms for finding proximity data on the fly, including unique, high-performance indexing options. For a deeper understanding of […]

Webinar: Date/Timestamp types in PostgreSQL [Follow Up]

April 27, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

Handling dates, time, and time zones is a very complex matter and gets even more complicated when you implement them into databases. PostgreSQL is well equipped to handle such complexities and provides powerful, native support for handling date/timestamp data types. In order to explore the proper use of dates, timestamps, and interval data types, 2ndQuadrant […]

Webinar: Creating Graph Databases in PostgreSQL [Follow Up]

April 20, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

PostgreSQL is a hyperconverged DBMS offering functionalities that otherwise require specialized database technology. Developing a Graph Database is one such use case. To explore Graph Databases in more detail, 2ndQuadrant held a live webinar, “Creating Graph Databases in PostgreSQL”, which was hosted by Simon Riggs (CEO at 2ndQuadrant).  In this webinar, Simon demonstrated how PostgreSQL […]

Webinar: pg_catalog Unveiled! [Follow Up]

April 13, 2020 /0 Comments/in Webinars /by Bilal Ibrar

PostgreSQL users are always interested in their system’s performance to know if any improvements need to be made or to generate the occasional health report requested by their managers.  Standard monitoring tools are available to monitor the CPU, RAM, and I/O consumption, but they won’t be able to tell you if indexes are being used, […]
