Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. A lot has been said and written about scaling PostgreSQL to many cores and subsequently to many machines. Running PostgreSQL in a server farm is something, which has not been possible for many years. However, this has definitely changed. A lot of development has gone into scaling PostgreSQL and to running a single query on many CPUs. PostgreSQL 9.6 was the first release, which allowed to run a query on many nodes. Development has moved on and things are constantly improving to make PostgreSQL even better. Scaling PostgreSQL to “1 billion rows / second” Currently we have ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Bryan Liston. John Pignata, Solutions ArchitectWith the explosion of device types used to access the Internet with different capabilities, screen sizes, and resolutions, developers must often provide images in an array of sizes to ensure a great user experience. This can become complex to manage and drive up costs. Images stored using Amazon S3 are often processed into multiple sizes to fit within the design constraints of a website or mobile application. It’s a common approach to use S3 event notifications and AWS Lambda for eager processing of images when a new object is created ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL. Author: Daniel van Eeden. The mysql client is a tool which I use every day as a DBA. I think it's a great tool. When I used a client of several other SQL and NoSQL databases I was quickly reminded of all the features of the mysql client. Note that psql (PostgreSQL client) is also very nice.Some other interesting things about the mysql client: It is build from the same mysql-server repository as MySQL Server. The source is in client/mysql.cc. In addition to the server version it also reports 14.14 as its version. The previous version (14.13) ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. There are couple of different ways to implement database encryption – commonly on operating system, filesystem, file or column level, leaving out transport level encryption which is supported since 15 years. Each of those approaches counters a different threat model, and one can easily imagine that in the case of databases, where the systems were originally not designed with encryption in mind, it is not exactly easy to first agree on a certain way of doing things – and then there would be for sure a lot of technical pitfalls on the way. But today, after a ... Read More
