PDXPUG – Free Geek PostgreSQL Users' Group monthly meeting. Followed by refreshments at the Lucky Lab. Topic: Visual Planner Presenter: Tom Raney, PSU Where: FreeGeek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland, OR When: 7pm, September 18, 2008 Tom Raney will be presenting the Visual Planner, a GUI tool written in Java that enables the user to peek inside the PostgreSQL planner's decision making process. The tool shows all plans that were evaluated including the plan that was picked for execution. Tom worked on this during Google Summer of Code, and credits Dr. Len Shapiro, a professor at Portland State University and PDXPUG regular, as a great help. Tom showed off his tool during OSCON and has gotten some feedback from community members on it. He's working up a test example that should appeal to DBAs, and I'll link directly to the source code once he's got it ready. This work also involves a patch to PostgreSQL, which should be available soon! After the meeting, retire to the Lucky Lab for refreshments! |

XPDX October: Unit Test Your Database – PSU Business Accelerator David Wheeler will be giving his "Unit Test Your Database" talk. It was well-received at Open Source Bridge; now he's giving it to an audience of Agile practitioners. We’re all used to unit testing our applications by now. The Extreme and Agile programming movements have done a great deal to promote unit testing, to the extent that many of us are now dependent on tests to assure that our applications work reliably. But how often do we test the database underlying our applications? Given that the database, as the repository for all of the knowledge and data for an application, just might be the single most important part of that application, the time for standardized database unit testing has come. This talk promotes the practice of writing and running unit tests that directly test the schema, storage, and functionality of application databases. Following a review of the available PostgreSQL unit testing frameworks, we’ll review examples of testing tables, views, columns, constraints, indexes, triggers, and functions. The idea is to promote complete test coverage every aspect of a database, independent of application unit tests, to ensure reliably canonical data integrity. Pizza and networking at 6:30pm, 7pm talk, beer afterwards. |

PDXTech4Good May Meetup – Lucky Labrador Brew Pub At last, we have confirmed a May Meetup topic! A good system for managing your clients, constituents, donors, and/or volunteers will ease your troubles away! Well...we're not sure that any database can be completely pain-free, there are some good solutions available for nonprofits but before a tool is decided upon, some essential questions must be asked. Join us on May 25, when Tompkins Spann will talk unbiased on how to determine your nonprofits' needs for data management and what you need to evaluate when choosing a CRM or database. Then, you will have the opportunity to talk to Tompkins and others (we invite you to attend if you have a CRM solution to talk up!) about specific solutions and how they might integrate into your nonprofit's work flow. We are proud to be bringing you this meetup in collaboration with the Portland Nonprofit Salesforce Users Group and Convio. .............................................................................................................................. Tompkins is the Sr. Market Strategist for Convio focused exclusively on the Common Ground product, Convio’s CRM solution for nonprofits. He has worked for Convio (and formerly) GetActive for more than 5 years in various roles, from account services to product marketing. His experience working with nonprofits began when he exited the Peace Corps in 2000 to create his own 501c3. He then began working for a large advocacy-based organization in DC serving as the lead on all technology projects ranging from website strategy to database development. Tompkins has a passion for nonprofit-tech and truly enjoys helping organizations pick the right solutions and apply the right strategies to help further their mission. |

UpdatePDX monthly meeting – Cloudability ABOUT THE GROUP: With new databases springing up faster than new food carts this meetup aims to cut through the hype and disseminate knowledge from people who have been using, scaling, and getting-paged-by databases and other systems in production environments. Meetups will be a presentation on someone's experience with a database or related technology in production preceded by 1 or 2 people giving 5 minute lightning talks on technologies they've just begun using and are excited about. Hopefully a few months after giving a lightning talk the speaker will return to present on their experience as the main presentation. If nothing else, come by to have a beer and share war stories with others trying to fight through the hype and keep their systems humming.

Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting – Robert Half Technology, 2nd Floor Conference Room 10gen: Intro to MongoDB and Schema Design One of the challenges that comes with moving to MongoDB is figuring how to best model your data. While most developers have internalized the rules of thumb for designing schemas for RDBMSs, these rules don't always apply to MongoDB. The simple fact that documents can represent rich, schema-free data structures means that we have a lot of viable alternatives to the standard, normalized, relational model. Not only that, MongoDB has several unique features, such as atomic updates and indexed array keys, that greatly influence the kinds of schemas that make sense. Understandably, this begets good questions:
In this session, we'll answer these questions and more, provide a number of data modeling rules of thumb, and discuss the tradeoffs of various data modeling strategies. ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland Oregon area. Join other developers for presentations and discussions about Ruby, libraries, tools and techniques. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday". |

Portland Riak Group: Intro to Yokozuna; Riak and Node.js at Coradine – AppFog HQ Hi, and welcome to the Portland Riak Group. There are plenty of Riak Users in the PDX area, so it's time we had an official meetup. The team at AppFog was gracious enough to loan their space for the inaugural meeting, and a few members of the Basho team will be on hand to deliver pizza, beer, and stickers. Here are the talks we have lined up:
7:15 Next Generation Searching with Yokozuna Eric Redmond; Engineer, Basho Technologies Riak Search was created to expand Riak's query options. It's worked well enough the past couple years, but it's time to move forward. Yokozuna is the next generation of Riak search, built on the solid Distributed Solr platform. We'll see a preview of what Yokozuna does, what it's going to do, and how that's a marked improvement from the existing Riak Search.
8:00 Riak & Node.js: The Hunt for Cheap, Easy Nines Nathan Aschbacher; Developer, Coradine Portland-based Coradine makes an innovative aviation application that helps pilots the world over. Riak powers a lot of this application. Nathan Äschbacher, developer at Coradine, will take you through:

Portland Perl Mongers – Sane Database Change Management with Sqitch – Free Geek speaker: David Wheeler SQL change management is hard. Most “migration”-style implementations require opaque naming conventions, prefer DSLs that cover a fraction of SQL, and require duplication of code for simple changes to existing functions. Such does not have to be. And now it’s not Introducing Sqitch, simple SQL change management that doesn’t suck. Sqitch doesn’t care what programming language your app is written in. It has no opinions as to what database to use or what its schema should look like. And it doesn’t require sequentially-named migration scripts or the use of any DSL other than SQL. Sqitch lets you to write SQL migration scripts that target your database, and provides a simple, unintrusive interface for specifying dependencies, so that it can run things in the proper order. So come to this talk to learn all about Sqitch: How it works, where to get it, and how to get the most out of managing database deployments. David Wheeler is Senior Data Architect at iovation and an associate at PGExperts. He is responsible, among other things, for PGXN, pgTAP, DesignScene, and way too many CPAN modules. He lives in Portland unless he’s traveling with his family. As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub. |

Portland Riak "Luc Perkins & The Personal Cloud" – NedSpace on 5th Is the siloed internet over? It's too early to tell, but personal cloud is showing tremendous promise as a counter-paradigm that holds the promise of both providing most or all of the services that we currently enjoy and doing so in a way that is vastly more consistent with more stringent understanding of privacy and consent. While there are numerous countries making slow progress on the personal cloud front, none, as far as I know, are considering Riak as a data store for personal clouds. In this talk, I'd like to make the case for Riak as being an ideal technology for this. |

We’ll talk a bit about why you haven’t been running databases in containers, then walk through some development work flows with Postgres, and lastly look at options for deploying and running persistent databases in containers. ——— Hi, its me Grant Holly. I work at Iovation on the data science and analytics team wrangling our data into visualizations and machine learning models. I live in SE, play in bands, and am a learning machine. |

@DAMAPDX "Real Time Databases" with Amit Vij – Standard Insurance Center Auditorium Presented by Amit Vij (Standard Ins. Atrium) Kinetica, President & Co-founder RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rsvp-for-damapdx-real-time-databases-with-amit-vij-tickets-46502705845 Free for Members! $15 for Non-Members $5 for Students with valid student ID Modern business is fluid. Critical business events must be responded to when they occur. Delays mean lost opportunities and sub-optimal outcomes. Modern analytics must be as agile as the business itself. The days of looking at your data in the rear-view mirror are coming to an end. We are at the dawn of a new analytic revolution: the real-time database. Millisecond latency is the new analytic performance standard. A new class of GPU-accelerated databases enable this level of performance. GPU-accelerated databases are over 100x more performant than even the “fastest” in-memory data stores. GPU-accelerated databases can provide extreme levels of scalability without negative performance impacts. They are also easy to implement; thanks to their use of ANSI-standard SQL and hybrid visualization capabilities. This makes them particularly attractive for some of the most demanding analytic tasks; like scoring of predictive models, and geospatial visualizations. Join Amit Vij from Kinetica to learn how GPU-accelerated databases can enable real-time businesses. Speaker Amit is President and Co-Founder of Kinetica. Amit is responsible for the vision and strategic decisions for the company. Having a background in computer engineering, he has over a decade of software development experience in the commercial and federal space, with an emphasis in analyzing and visualizing big data, and helped architect Kinetica. Amit served as the chief GEOINT technical architect as a contractor for a major Top Secret cloud initiative between the US Army, NSA, and the DIA. Prior to Kinetica, Amit was a subject matter expert on geospatial intelligence with General Dynamics AIS and had been chief architect for several Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security contracts. Amit received a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland with concentrations in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

Practical, Hands-on Training for Advanced Excel Formulas & Functions – NedSpace Want to take your career to the next level?Practical, Hands-on Training for Advanced Excel Formulas & FunctionsMicrosoft Excel is perhaps the most important computer software program used in business today. That's why so many workers and prospective employees are required to learn Excel to enter or remain in the workplace. Unfortunately many college students, recent grads, and professionals haven’t mastered Excel or have the adequate Excel skills employers are seeking. According to Payscale, “ 80 percent of job openings require spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people never even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma around it.” If you walk through the finance or accounting department at any major corporate office, you will see computer screens filled with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results, budgets, forecasts, and plans used to make big business decisions. Marketing and Product profesionals using Excel to list customer and sales targets; managing thier sales force and planning future marketing plans based on past results. Pivot tables to quickly and easily summarize customer and sales data by category with a quick drag-and drop. HR professionals using giant spreadsheets full of employee data and understand exactly where the costs are coming from and how to best plan and control them for the future. Supply logistic professional to manage inventory and forecasts demand.In essence, you can turn an entire department around just because you know how to manipulate data in order to get an aggregate view. STRUCTURE OF COURSEAdvanced functions and formulas
Lookups and data tables
Advanced data management
Advanced charting
PivotTables and PivotCharts
Exporting and Importing Data
Analytical Tools
Macros and Visual Basic
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORMartin Jetton has 30+ years of advanced supply chain analytics, predictive analytics, and statistical consulting experience.

BENEFITSNot only are many business professionals using Excel to perform everyday functional tasks in the workplace, an increasing number of employers rely on Excel for decision support.The ability to analyze data is a powerful skill that helps you make better decisions. Microsoft Excel is one of the top tools for data analysis and the built-in pivot tables are arguably the most popular analytic tool. MAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUTThey are NOT seeing if you simply have Excel as a skill. They are diving deeping when it comes to determining which candidate to interview and hire. They look for Pivot Table, VLOOKUP, Macros, VBA, Conditional Formatting, Charting and Filtering…These are far more telling of your ability to an employer then writing Excel. Someone who writes VLOOKUP, Pivot Table, Filtering demonstrates an ability to analyse data and so has eliminated a potential barrier in the mind of the hiring manager reviewing your resume. In essence, use actual Excel functions in your Resume! INCREASE YOUR EARNING POTENTIALDid you know that Excel know-how can instantly increase your job prospects as well as your starting salary? Excel is a transferrable skill that any hiring manager understands is critical. Research shows job applicants who know MS Excel make $22.66 per hour on average compared to the $20.14 per hour their peers make who don’t know the program. That’s roughly an extra $20 per eight-hour workday and $100 per work week, simply for knowing how to use a single computer program. Moreover, full-time employees in certain industries can see a starting salary bump of anywhere from $1,000 to $7,000 per year based on their Excel skills. That’s not chump change you can ignore. INSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR?A majority 63 percent of twenty-somethings want to start their own business. How will you stay organized, track data, or forecast your finances if you’re not spreadsheet-savvy? Many millennials simply want their first job. But, what about your performance once someone hires you?

Data PDX: Kùzu Graph Database Management System – Online via Google Meet Bio: Semih Salihoğlu is an Associate Professor and a David R. Cheriton Faculty Fellow at University of Waterloo. His research focuses on developing systems for managing, querying, or doing analytics on graph-structured data. His main on-going systems project is Kùzu, which is a new graph database management system that integrates novel storage, indexing and query processing techniques. He holds a PhD from Stanford University and is a recipient of the VLDB 2018 Best Paper and the VLDB 2022 Best Experiments and Analysis Paper awards. Abstract: In this talk, I will present the Kùzu graph database management system (GDBMS) that we are developing at University of Waterloo. Datasets and workloads of popular applications that use GDBMSs require a set of storage and query processing features that relational DBMSs (RDBMSs) do not traditionally optimize for. These include optimizations for: (i) many-to-many (m-n) joins; (ii) cyclic joins; (iii) recursive joins; (iv) semi-structured data storage; and (v) support for universal resource identifiers. Kùzu aims to integrate state-of-art storage, indexing, and query processing techniques to highly optimize for this feature set. I will start by presenting the overall vision of Kùzu and then talk about the novel join operators in the system that performs joins using compressed factorized representations of intermediate tables. Kùzu is actively being developed to be a fully functional open-source DBMS with the goal of wide user adoption and under a permissible license. |

Data PDX: The Data Lakehouse with Bill Inmon – Online via Google Meet Bill Inmon known as the father of the data warehouse and has written 68 books, selling over a million copies in total and translated into 9 languages. Bill was named by Computerworld as one of the ten most influential people in history of computing. Bill’s company, Forest Rim Technology, has created textual ETL which reads raw text and turn it into a database. Bill lives in Denver Colorado with his wife and his two Scotty dogs. Abstract Certain vendors have suggested that the organization throw data into a data lake and then let end users analyze the data in the data lake. The data lake quickly turns into a data swamp or sewer. No one gets any value out of the data lake. In order to turn your data into something useful you need to turn your data lake into a Data Lakehouse. This presentation is all about the evolution of architecture and how to start to get value out of your data lake. What You Will Learn In this presentation Bill will discuss: · The evolution of data architecture · Data Lakes – where did they come from · The Data Lakehouse and the analytic infrastructure · Getting a handle on text – text analytics RSVP for Google Meet or Zoom link Cost Free!
