April 13, 2016/27 Comments/in Craig's PlanetPostgreSQL /by craig.ringer

PostgreSQL 9.5 introduces a new SKIP LOCKED option to SELECT … FOR [KEY] UPDATE|SHARE.

July 26, 2014/28 Comments/in Craig's PlanetPostgreSQL /by craig.ringer

Shaun Thomas’s recent post about client-side loops as an SQL anti-pattern is well worth a read if you’re relatively new to SQL-based application development.
