An implementation for UUIDv7 was committed to Postgres earlier this month. These have all the benefits of a v4 (random) UUID, but are generated with a more deterministic order using the current time, and perform considerably better on inserts using ordered structures like B-trees.

A list of things to avoid

A nice piece of technology that is developed here

Visualizing and understanding PostgreSQL EXPLAIN plans made easy.

Not sure why this is, but I’m guessing it’s got something to do with working with a schema. It exercises the same sort of brain muscles1 as designing data structures or architecting an application.

Full of advices on these misused and abuses

the goal for rainfrog is to provide a lightweight, terminal-based alternative to pgadmin/dbeaver.

That's very interesting

This is why databases accessed over a socket instead of being an embedded library are actually a great abstraction, not necessarily a technical one, but an organizational abstraction! During development it can be a simple container running on your developers machines, while in production it can be anything from a container running on the same server as your application, or a distributed cluster accessed through the network.

There is a Postgres compatibility plugin under development.

Today, at Postgres Conference 2024, we introduced a PostgreSQL extension we are developing, which enables MySQL applications to run on PostgreSQL without any code changes by supporting the MySQL wire protocol, SQL syntax, and procedural language.

• pg_trunk is a package manager for PostgresSQL databases.
• stored procedures allows to put logic into the postgres database
• extensions can generate JWT tokens, auth, ...
• caching with K/V stores: pg_cron & h_store
• pub/sub: PSQL notify/listen
• message queue with pgmg
• NoSQL databases are moving to support SQL (or mimic such a language)
• Time series with TimescaleDB
• Search terms with full-text search
• Rest API with PostgREST.
• Omnigres to create a complete platform

Everything is in it, but has to be found.

There are dedicated sections for SQL or DBA for example.
