PG10 at the London PostgreSQL Meetup

October 6, 2017/0 Comments/in Simon's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Simon Riggs

We recently hosted the London PostgreSQL Meetup at a new location in Covent Garden. Room was great and its about 100m from Leicester Square tube, so very centrally located and easy to get to. http://www.meetup.com/London-PostgreSQL-Meetup-Group/ I’ve been the organizer of the group for more than 6 years now, in my role as the PostgreSQL Project’s […]

PostgreSQL Popularity Continues to Grow!

June 13, 2017/1 Comment/in Simon's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Simon Riggs

Some years ago, I prophesized that PostgreSQL would win in the end, and that we would be able to tell because there would be “Microsoft PostgreSQL”. I am happy to report that has now happened. Microsoft PostgreSQL database service on Azure was announced recently. Of course, that was just a metaphor for “a.n.other big company”, […]

What does pg_start_backup() do?

January 23, 2017/5 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Simon's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Simon Riggs

Reading mailing lists can damage your health, as I recently discovered on the PostgreSQL Performance list where backup was being discussed. First off, don’t read blogs for finding out critical pieces of info. Read the docs because they are accurate, fully reviewed and well maintained. I should add that I was the initial author of […]
