I am Developer! (And You Can Too!)

April 5, 2019/0 Comments/in Shaun's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Shaun Thomas

A while back, 2ndQuadrant notified a few of us that we should get more involved in Postgres Development in some capacity. Being as I’ve essentially fallen off the map in corresponding with the mailing lists in general, it would be a good way to get back into the habit. But wait! Don’t we want more […]

March 29, 2018/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Umair's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Umair Shahid

Last week saw the 3rd event in as many years in Singapore, and yet this time something was very different. For the last 2 years, we had been conducting the conference as a PostgreSQL track with FOSSASIA. This year, we were able to pull off an entirely independent, 2-day event completely focused on PostgreSQL! The event kicked […]

PostgreSQL Popularity Continues to Grow!

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”, […]

“Now is Better Than Never” – Why I decided to attend PyCon8…

April 24, 2017/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Britt's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Britt Cole

…and why I’m glad I did. It’s not all technical… Who knew?! Last year, Pycon7 was held right about the time I joined 2ndQuadrant. Seeing as I was new to the technology AND the Italian language (note: there was an English track), I opted out of attending. Well, after attending Pycon8, I can say that […]

This year, the ITPUG (Italian Postgres User Group) organized PGDay in Prato, my hometown and city where the association was born, although most of the members are from outside of the Tuscany region. It was my pleasure to contribute to the community by sharing my professional experience. I gave a talk about PostgreSQL on Network File System, […]

Column Store Plans

April 25, 2016/5 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Alvaro's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL /by Álvaro Herrera

Over at pgsql-general, Bráulio Bhavamitra asks: I wonder if there is any plans to move postgresql entirely to a columnar store (or at least make it an option), maybe for version 10? This is a pretty interesting question. Completely replacing the current row-based store wouldn’t be a good idea: it has served us extremely well […]
