PostgreSQL conferences are always cool and this time it was in Amsterdam: PGDay Amsterdam<\/a>. Beside that meeting all the great people was fun again the location was really outstanding: The TOBACCO Theater<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Some impressions:<\/p>\n

Here you can see Devrim<\/a> preparing the opening of the event with the introduction session:
\n\"dav\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… and then it happened: We finally started:<\/p>\n

\"dav\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jan<\/a> kicked of the sessions with his talk about the reasons he finally arrived in the PostgreSQL community after working years in another one:<\/p>\n

\"Selection_006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oleksi<\/a> took over to speak about ACID<\/a>, transactions and much more, a great talk: <\/p>\n

\"dav\"<\/a>
\nI had the pleasure to speak about PostgreSQL 11 to close the first sessions before the coffee break:<\/p>\n

\"Selection_002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stefanie<\/a> followed with foreign data wrappers and data integration with PostgreSQL (another great one):<\/p>\n

\"Selection_005\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then there was something special: You might know Devrim has a real PostgreSQL tattoo and that was taken as an opportunity to offer temporary tattoos to everyone and that looked like this:<\/p>\n

\"Selection_003\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Selection_004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hans<\/a> rocked the stage right after:
\n\"dav\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Devrim right after his talk about WAL:
\n\"a115fd15-0f21-4173-afcc-1aece9465afd-original\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As in Rapperswil two weeks ago Bruce<\/a> closed the sessions with his talk: Will PostgreSQL live forever:
\n\"70c46b91-342d-41cf-af52-19f282fdd170-original1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There have been other session not mentioned here, which also have been great, but I didn’t ask if it as fine to publish the pictures. I could not attend the party after the event but I am sure that was great as well. See you next year. And never forget: PostgreSQL rocks \ud83d\ude42<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
