The last few talks have been rolling in. I’m very excited about the round table Sunday morning with Joshua Drake (USPA and PostgreSQL […]
[Update: David Wheeler provided the SQL that came out of this meeting.]
Last night, PDXPUG and Code-n-Splode got together to refactor the database for RT. David Wheeler, Jeff Davis and Mark Wong led the discussion.
Through the course of the meeting, the group chose to pick out a few key features that would be better served […]
Saturday night, February 9, at 8pm, Richard Broersma and a crew of 15 launched LAPUG. Noel Proffitt, from the City of Garden Grove, gave a great talk on time-oriented (or temporal) database design.
He presented an example of a set of columns, rules and triggers for tracking both valid and transaction time. Noel also […]

I have been looking into getting some woman-sized PostgreSQL shirts, in addition to the more typical men-sized tshirts. The particular style is American Apparel shirts, style # 2102. The shirt says ‘PostgreSQL’ in small print on the front, and has the big elephant logo on the back. We’ll most likely ask for a $20 donation […]
We’re getting together at my place to work on ptop on Saturday at Noon. Get in touch if you’d like to join in. We’ll have room for 4-5 more people. It’s going to be at my place, so for directions just email me, Mark or Gab.
Last night’s meeting was about ptop and Mark Wong’s efforts to make an interactive, command-line tool for monitoring the current status of a PostgreSQL database.
For our meeting, Mark set up a test operating system on a USB drive, and bravely demo’d his new software.
Mark got the idea for ptop a few months ago, and went […]
