Time to sharpen the axe

Our DBA consultants and Database specialists prefer to be working for our customers on site or remotely to help with (open Source) database management systems such as design, benchmarking, maintenance and support.
But sometimes it also makes sense to “grind the axe.”
Open Source products are evolving at lightning speed, partly because so many people worldwide are working on them, which is why our DBAs also like to spend a few days brushing up. Where better to do that than at international open source database conferences.
In this blog, our own Bernard Verheij tells us what he learned there.

PostgreSQL conferences

PostgreSQL is a relational open source database that can now easily rival major licensed database platforms such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. More about Postgres is described in this blog: An expert’s view of PostgreSQL.

PostgreSQL is not developed or managed by a single company, but relies on a global community of developers and DBAs. The advantage for the user: no large, complicated (and expensive) licensing structures, and for those who want one: a worldwide network of committed IT professionals who put their heart and soul into optimizing database software.
