New #TalkingPostgres #podcast Ep30 just dropped!
Amazing guest @simon joined to talk about AI for data engineers. We skipped the hype & boosterism to dive into #PostgreSQL permissions, alt text, Pulitzer-worthy tooling, jagged frontiers, safety and security, 150-line SQL queries, GitHub Codespaces, the daily-changing capabilities of the models, & OF COURSE: pelicans on bicycles

Un article sympa utilisant PostGIS et TimescaleDB dans la même base de données https://liangliangliangtan.github.io/2020-03-17-Create-time-series-spatial-databases-With-TimeScaleDB-and-PostGIS.html #postgres #extension #exemple #configuration
crib.social is back from some system maintenance.
I've learned more about #postgres vacuuming too.
OTOH, it would be better if fediverse admins didn't have to do any maintenance on their database at all. Having to do so makes it much harder to self-host, and this in turn both reduces the size of the #fediverse and makes the UX worse.
#PostgreSQL continue de régner comme la base de données la plus aimée !
3e année consécutive en #1 pour "envie de travailler avec" (46,5%) et "admirée" (65,5%) dans l'enquête Stack Overflow.
Les devs MongoDB/Redis veulent surtout ajouter PostgreSQL l'année prochaine.
Choix solide pour 2025 !

#PostgreSQL continues its reign as the most loved database!
Third year running as #1 for both "want to work with" (46.5%) and "admired" (65.5%) in the Stack Overflow survey. No surprise - it just keeps getting better.
MongoDB/Redis devs especially want to add PostgreSQL to their toolkit next year. The data shows strong desire from NoSQL users to expand into relational skills.
Solid choice for 2025!

Install and run a PostgreSQL database locally on Linux, MacOS or Windows. PostgreSQL can be bundled with your application, or downloaded on demand.
This library provides an embedded-like experience for PostgreSQL similar to what you would have with SQLite.
