Abstract: How I learned to love PostgreSQL by fundamentally doing everything wrong. Common solutions used in the world of database design go beyond sub-optimal to downright awful. Many times they carried over from early years of database design work, or learned from working on poorly implemented solutions. This talk we discuss many of the common faux-pas, focusing not only on the bad, but hopefully providing better solutions to use in their place. Bio: Aaron is a technology enthusiast who has
presented at technology events from Portland to Ottawa. Aaron enjoys the
challenges of bringing open source tools to bear on problems in
industry. Perl, PostgreSQL and Linux are among his favorite
problem-solving implements. Aaron's passion for promoting open source
technology led him in 2006 to become Con Chair of PenguiCon 4.0, which
is the first convention ever to bring together two disparate communities
that sharea love of innovative thought: the open source community and
science fiction fans. PenguiCon is currently one of the largest
technology events in Michigan. |
