Will Postgres Live Forever? Thursday 15:40 New York
Blog: momjian.us
I have worked with Postgres for 22 years, and got involved in Postgres because I was always curious about how databases worked. I live in Philadelphia.
I am a core team member and work on the email lists daily. I attend 30+ Postgres events a year. I have many presentations on my website, and blog often.
Yes, I think I have been to eight of them, mostly as a speaker. I enjoy that they are in different cities each year.
My talk is about the life cycle of software, and compares proprietary and open-source life cycles particularly. I have been working in this environment for a long time and have formulated some ideas on how they are different, and where the software industry is heading.
I think anyone who likes to think about how software is made, and where it is heading, will be interested. This is a recent talk and I have gotten very good feedback on it.
No specific knowledge is required. I am sure my family would enjoy the talk too.
For me it is the partitioning improvements, which enable new workloads. I think the fun-est new feature is the exit/quit psql ability.
