It’ll probably shave 50% off that table’s disk space. However, we’re actually in the process of sharding the db, and by copying customer by customer we’ll lose the bloat that way. The subsequent shards will be a lot more manageable so we ca

I haven’t found any. In our case, we did an alter table .. alter column, which I assumed would he fine. In retrospect, it does make sense that PG recreates that column from scratch and thus it doesn’t keep the statistics. Since then we typi

Some schema changing statements drop the statistics. We learned this the hard way. We altered some integer columns to bigint. That cleared the statistics for those column and caused terrible query plans. An ANALYZE fixes this, but it took u

REINDEX concurrently made a huge difference for us. We have a main database that started at version 9.6 and was upgraded along the way. The largest table is huge (billions of rows, TB’s of diskspace) and gets a lot of deletes and updates. V

When looking at revenue / employee, in businesses where wages are the biggest cost (eg: software), that ratio also gives you a upper bound to how much you can pay employees and still be profitable. In my book, revenue / employee i

I actually don’t know if they want to protect the data. I can imagine they might not want China or other countries listening in and potentially sending commands to the craft. Does anyone know if there is typically encryption on the downlink

That’s exactly why I prefer a more kanban-inspired flow. We discuss new tickets weekly, estimate them with planning poker [0] and move some to “in focus”. We have WIP limits on focus, doing and for-review to limit the max concurrency and en
