It was well-received at Open Source Bridge\; now he's gi ving it to an audience of Agile practitioners. \;\n \;\nWe’re all used to unit testing our applications by now. The Extreme and Agile prog ramming movements have done a great deal to promote unit testing\, to th e extent that many of us are now dependent on tests to assure that our a pplications work reliably. But how often do we test the database underly ing our applications? Given that the database\, as the repository for al l of the knowledge and data for an application\, just might be the singl e most important part of that application\, the time for standardized da tabase unit testing has come. \;\n \;\nThis talk promotes the prac tice of writing and running unit tests that directly test the schema\, s torage\, and functionality of application databases. Following a review of the available PostgreSQL unit testing frameworks\, we’ll review examp les of testing tables\, views\, columns\, constraints\, indexes\, trigge rs\, 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. \;\n \;\nPizza and networking at 6:30pm\, 7pm talk\, beer afterwards.\n\nTags: xp\, agile\, database\, tdd\, unit test\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/125045785 5 URL:http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/xpportland/ SUMMARY:XPDX October: Unit Test Your Database LOCATION:PSU Business Accelerator: 2828 SW Corbett Ave\, Portland OR 9720 1 US SEQUENCE:5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091110T181534Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091118T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091118T120000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091110T181534Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091110T181534Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250457986 DESCRIPTION:Many technology and science start-ups that require outside ca pital have found investor groups with open doors but closed wallets this past year.

Using 'Voice of the Customer' processes to develop pro ducts that meet REAL market needs."\; \;\n \;\nA major compone nt of business success is developing products that meet customer needs a nd provide superior value. Meeting customer needs requires that those ne eds be understood. The "\;voice of the customer"\; (VOC) is the term to describe the stated and unstated customer needs or requirements. The voice of the customer can be captured in a variety of ways: direct discussion or interviews\, surveys\, focus groups\, customer specificati ons\, observation\, warranty data\, field reports\, etc. \;\n \;\n This program will explore the practical side of collecting and using the VOC. Frank Binnendyk\, and expert in VOC and a founder partner of Custo mer Alignment Consulting will explain the basics of this market research methodology. Then\, three representatives from companies that have used the VOC research will provide a users' perspective. They will explain w hy and how they did it\; how they used the information gathered\; if it worked well or didn't meet their expectations and what were their VOC le ssons learned. Ed de la Fuente VP of Marketing from Aperion Audio\, John Williams Product Marketing Manager from FEI and Robert Buxton a High Te ch B2B Professional will present company examples.

The theory of temporal datab ases goes back to the 90s\, but standardization has only just begun with some modest recommendations in SQL:2011\, and database products (includ ing Postgres) are still missing major functionality. \;\n \;\nThis talk will cover how temporal tables are structured\, how they are queri ed and updated\, what SQL:2011 offers (and doesn't)\, what functionality Postgres has already\, and what remains to be built. \;\n \;\nPau l started programming on a Tandy 1000 at age 8 and hasn't been able to s top since. He helped build one of the Mac's first web servers in 1994 an d has founded software companies in politics and technical hiring.

No really\, the library is called Slick AND it is very cool to use. Slick and Scala are great for working with Postgres with either straight SQL\, or using the FRM (that’s a Functional Relation Mapper li ke in functional programming). After Hannah gave a great talk talk abou t Python\, Postgres\, and ORMs\, I got to thinking that I could do a lan guage and ORM talk. Thanks Hannah\, that was great. \;\n \;\nhttp s://github.com/grantholly/pdx_pug_scala_and_pg \;\n \;\nHi\, it’s me still Grant. I work at New Relic as an engineer on the database engi neering team.

Considering the many pitfalls of this current system\, he will discuss how FOSS too ls – especially PostgreSQL/PostGIS – are vitally important for modern sp atial analytics. In addition to the PostGIS extension\, Jackson will tal k about network routing using the PgRouting extension and the interface between R and PostgreSQL. This talk will act more as a showcase of GIS a nd “spatial SQL” within PostgreSQL than it will nitty-gritty database de velopment. \;\n \;\nJackson Voelkel is a Health Data Analyst on Ka iser Permanente’s GIS Team as well as an Adjunct Professor of Geography at Portland State University.

My team has been on a journ ey towards splitting our largest mysql databases and I want to share my experiences and lessons learned. We are going to look at the problems a nd possible solutions to scaling reads and writes in relational database s. \;\n \;\nVitess is an open source project born at youtube to sc ale their largest and most critical databases. It has been adopted in a s a Cloud Native Compute Foundation incubator project. With PostgreSQL on the medium-term road map\, let’s take a look at what we have been abl e to do with mysql. \;\n \;\nHi its me Grant. I work on the datab ase engineering team at New Relic.

Rec ently pg_systat was forked from systat to display additional database st atistics. \;\n \;\nThese tools have can help do more such as explo re query execution plans and create reports from system and database res ources. \;\n \;\nCome learn about the statistics PostgreSQL keeps and how to use these tools to view them. \;\n \;\nMark leads the 2 ndQuadrant performance practice as a Performance Consultant for English Speaking Territories\, based out of Oregon in the USA.

We’ll briefly mention SQL/MED on the way\, and te ll a couple of bad (Dad) jokes. \;\n \;\nWe’ll cover use (and mis- use) cases\, configuration of each\, and interesting quirks. Gabrielle w ill attempt a live demo of file_fdw and postgres_fdw. You’re welcome to follow along if you’d like\, just show up with a couple of Pg databases: they can be on the same cluster (or container or RDS instance or what h ave you) or different ones\, doesn’t really matter. One of them should h ave at least one table with data in it. \;\n \;\nAbout the speaker s: \;\n \;\nFrom embedded systems to UI to relational database pro gramming\, Michelle’s running an interesting path through the software w orld. Working with databases is her current episode\, with some programm ing\, some DBA\, some SysAdmin and a healthy dose of learning agile. She ’s very quickly come to appreciate and enjoy working with Postgres and h er work has allowed her to learn from some super talented database exper ts. \;\n \;\nGabrielle has been using Postgres since sometime in t he version 7s\, and thinks that the best part of using Open Source softw are is the culture of sharing knowledge. She’s a Senior Data Engineer at NS1 and co-founder and former co-lead of PDXPUG.\n\nTags: postgres\, po stgresql\, pdxpug\, dblink\, fdw\, sql\n\nImported from: http://calagato r.org/events/1250476774 URL:https://pdx.postgresql.us/ SUMMARY:PDXPUG February 2020 Meetup: DBlink and SQL/MED and FDW\, oh my!
