I’m giving a couple talks at OSCON this year. The first is on Tuesday, 10:40am room C123: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger: Postgres 9.1<\/a>. The other is Mistakes were Made<\/a>, Wednesday at 1:40pm in room D136.<\/p>\n

My colleague Robert Treat is giving a Pro PostgreSQL<\/a> workshop Wednesday at 1:40pm too, room 204. He’s also giving a Scalability Patterns<\/a> talk at 4:20pm Tuesday. I’m sure his talks will be awesome. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And here are the rest of the talks tagged with PostgreSQL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also remember — there’s a PgDay tomorrow<\/a> at the Oregon Convention Center!<\/p>\n

I’m pushing my examples for my 9.1 talk into a github repo<\/a>. It should be populated with whatever I decide to use for the talk by Monday evening.<\/p>\n

Building 9.1 for me on Mac OS X (leopard!) involved the following:<\/p>\n


\ngit tag -l | grep REL9_1
\ngit checkout REL9_1_BETA2
\n.\/configure --with-perl --with-python --prefix=\/opt\/pg91beta2 --with-readline
\nmake
\nmake install
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Normal caveats apply – you need X Code of a reasonably recent version, and a bunch of support libraries to make this happen. I haven’t rebuilt from scratch on OS X in a long time, but now I realize that maybe I aught to go through the pain and document this again.<\/p>\n

But I digress!<\/p>\n

I have a long list of resources for this talk and wanted to share. Probably in the slides for the talk, I’ll provide shortlinks so that people can pull them up and read instead of listening to me \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Here’s my links:<\/p>\n
