PDXPUG: March meeting in two weeks

When: 6-8pm Thursday Mar 17, 2016
Where: Iovation
Who: Josh Berkus
What: Big Data on Pg 9.5

PostgreSQL 9.5, released in January, is full of tasty goodness for big data folks: UPSERT, new aggregation types, OLAP support, new Foreign Data Wrapper functionality, BRIN indexes, and more. Josh Berkus will give us a rundown of these features, with multiple demos.

Josh Berkus is a member of the PostgreSQL Core Team, and works at Red Hat where he manages the Project Atomic community. Containers, containers, containers! Which is appropriate, since he’s also a potter.


If you have a job posting or event you would like me to announce at the meeting, please send it along. The deadline for inclusion is 5pm the day before the meeting.

Our meeting will be held at Iovation, on the 32nd floor of the US Bancorp Tower at 111 SW 5th (5th & Oak). It’s right on the Green & Yellow Max lines. Underground bike parking is available in the parking garage; outdoors all around the block in the usual spots. No bikes in the office, sorry!

Elevators open at 5:45 and building security closes access to the floor at 6:30.

When you arrive at the Iovation office, please sign in on the iPad at the reception desk.

See you there!
