oded valin: SQL Optimization: a comprehensive developer’s guide

19. Februar 2024 - 11:23

Ok you got a database, how do you optimize SQL performances? To answer this question you need a lot of time and effort in order to understand workloads and performance patterns, evaluate degradation and apply corrective measures. However there are standard practices that you can implement to improve performances. This SQL optimization guide will showcase some best practices that apply across almost every database and can be a good starting point to optimize your database workloads.

Henrietta Dombrovskaya: Logging: What, Why and When

19. Februar 2024 - 3:06

There are multiple PostgreSQL configuration parameters that determine what exactly to log. In Postgres 16, there are 30 of them if you exclude the ones related to the file naming and location. We rarely change them when we create a new instance. In a best-case scenario, your organization has a default set of cnfiguration parameters which are applied when a new instance is created.

Andrew Atkinson: Maintainable Podcast — Maintainable…Databases? 🎙️

19. Februar 2024 - 1:00

Recently I appeared as a guest on the Maintainable Podcast with Robby Russell. I’ve admired this podcast for a long time based on the guests, conversations, and focus on software maintenance.

Much of what a software engineer does is evolve and maintain existing systems. I’m glad Robby created this podcast to explore maintenance topics, and has gathered the perspectives of many practitioners.

What is Maintainable Software?

Robby starts each episode by asking the guest what maintainable software is in their perspective.

Dan Langille: Moving local settings for pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf out of PGDATA

18. Februar 2024 - 13:30

One of the configuration aspects of FreeBSD I have long liked is the concept of default values which are overridden by the user. For example, /etc/defaults/rc.conf (see The /etc directory). The default values in this file can be overridden by the user with their preferred values in /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/rc.conf.local, and other locations if you so choose (search for rc_conf_files)).

Grant Fritchey: Functions and Procedures: Learning PostgreSQL with Grant

15. Februar 2024 - 23:09

One of the most useful constructs in SQL Server is the stored procedure. It gives you a way to do several things. First up, you can store code within the database. Next, you can parameterize queries so that you’re not hard coding or generating ad hoc queries every time you want to call them. You can put in transaction handling, multiple result sets, security and more. They truly are a useful tool.

13. Februar 2024 - 19:17
In this blog post, we are going to briefly discuss the reasons why column order matters when creating tables -or relations- in PostgreSQL.AlignmentIn its internal representation of tuples, Postgres will set each column at a position depending on the alignment defined for the data type used (following the same sequential order as the one used […]

Tristen Raab: Deciphering PostgreSQL Encryption: A Beginner’s Guide

13. Februar 2024 - 1:12
Introduction

In this blog, we’ll go over the different methods we can use to encrypt and decrypt data in a PostgreSQL database. Having some experience with Linux and PostgreSQL is necessary, while experience with encryption is not but is nice to have. This blog was written using PostgreSQL 16 running on Ubuntu 23.04. First I’ll go over some motivations for encryption and its importance to data security, then look at a subset of the functions offered by PostgreSQL to implement encryption.

Luca Ferrari: Using PL/Java to Return SETOF RECORD

13. Februar 2024 - 1:00

A simple way to return multiple records from PL/Java

Using PL/Java to Return SETOF RECORD

PL/Java allows a quite easy implementation of result set providers, objects that will produce rows that can be used as tables in queries. In order to produce a result set, the main steps are: 1) implement the ResultSetProvider interface and its method to effectively produce the data; 2) build a PL/Java function that will instantiate the above ResultsetProvider, so that PL/Java will wrap such function into a RETURN SETOF RECORD SQL function.

Ricardo Zavaleta: Benchmarking PostgreSQL connection poolers: PgBouncer, PgCat and Supavisor

13. Februar 2024 - 1:00

Creating a connection to your Postgres database to execute a short-lived query is expensive. Several people have measured the overhead of Postgres connections and some locate them in the range of 1.3MB of memory per connection and others in the range of 2MB.
