Intro to PostgreSQL
Note: WE ARE MEETING AT BLOOMBERG!! We'll need names, and you will need
IDs. RSVP will open Nov 10, 2014, Monday 4:30pm.
Created in 1985, open-sourced in 1996, and still revolutionizing the
data world in 2014, PostgreSQL (or "Postgres" for ease of pronunciation)
has gone from being the "best-kept secret" in the relational database
world to the "default choice."
So what makes PostgreSQL special? What does it do well? What does it
not do well? How well does it actually perform? What does the future
hold for PostgreSQL and its community? Join Jonathan S. Katz & Jim
Mlodgenski as they provide an overview of PostgreSQL, with information
such as:
* Key Features that make PostgreSQL easy-to-use, such as:
* Data Types
* Indexing
* Things you had no idea a database could do
* PostgreSQL Performance Metrics and Debunking "Slow
* Performance" Myths
* Extensibility
* PostgreSQL Tools
* The Future (or at least the future of PostgreSQL)
Afterwards:
Join us for drinks at a nearby bar. Details TBD.
