Intended Audience

Hidden gems of PostgreSQL
With Magnus Hagander
This talk will introduce some not so well-known features in PostgreSQL,
either in the core product or in add-on modules, that can make the
developers or DBAs life a lot easier.
PostgreSQL is filled with advanced functions that sometimes go way
beyond what other databases provide. Some of this is provided in the
database, and some is provided as addon modules either in the contrib
area of the system, or as completely standalone projects on pgfoundry
or elsewhere. This talk will introduce a mix of suck features, in all
areas of the database - from administration task to security and
encryption.
