At least ~2 years ago, CAH was using the contract logistics services[1] of OHL (now GEODIS). The Blackbox site mentions it operates "like a co-op". I'm curious if they're still using GEODIS for the actual services and Bl

It could be a very performant transparent caching layer when combined with the fdw extension[1]. You can push down the true analytics queries down to Redshift, but cache the resultsets, rollups, facts tables, etc, in materialized views. The

The first example has a lot more use cases than it alludes to. I have a lot of aliased utility scripts for text processing, and frequently need to use them over entire files as well as on output piped from other processes. In this case, I d

The folder isn't as large as the IO usage makes it out to be. The entire PersistentCache directory is only ~104MB on my drive, even with >300GB written in the last few days
