Tim Bruce will be speaking at the next PDXPUG meeting at FreeGeek (at 7:00pm - 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland, OR).

An Introduction to Managing and Troubleshooting PostgreSQL on Windows

This talk will be for entry-level to mid-level Windows Administrators who have to support PostgreSQL on Windows (Windows Server or Windows Desktops). I'll touch on managing the service(s) and checking the Windows logs, as well as some quick ways to look for performance of the Operating System and PostgreSQL with the built-in tools on Microsoft Windows.

Tim Bruce is a Database Administrator for Fiserv Enterprise Technology. He is spread between Microsoft SQL Server on Windows and PostgreSQL running on SuSE Linux. In his spare time, he supports several Emergency Service organizations including the Washington County Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there....and of course, drinks at the Lucky Lab (http://www.luckylab.com/ ) at 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd. afterward.

Note that for this particular meeting, we will meet on the ground floor Board Room instead of the Iovation offices.

Portland Postgres Users Group

In this presentation we will grapple with the un-joinable itself, and see if we may not join it after all. The presentation explores the record linking problem (entity resolution) in the context of PostgreSQL. This problem generally arises when you have multiple data sources (or duplicates) without a reliable key to resolve multiple records to the same entity. First the problem is explored, then a general approach to developing a solution is presented, and finally there will be some pro tips.
