I am a bit disappointed at this article and the hierarchy of how to optimise postgres. As a MySQL specialist that has worked on a few Postgres projects, I can tell you that Postgres has a VERY RICH toolkit to speed things up. Between optimi

DBAs knew about this for many years now. We would simply change the schedular on the DB servers.

What about Postgres DBAs? I don't see too many of those around to allow Postgres to be picked up more....

Is there a similar script for Redshift?

He did not say that his database died. He said the "DB just kills it" as in, the query reached some sort of timeout.

I think you are reading this wrong. Imaging you are a technical co-founder of a new start up... Someone is now telling you: 'you will not need to hire as many devops or DBAs if you buy this technology and you are also future proof, bec

I f the reason they want to distribute was performance then as a DB performance engineer, I can tell you first hand that tuning a database, indexing and caching can keep 99.9% of the internet companies very happy. I know its hard to imagine

Yaniv, they just leapfrogged everyone back into the game with an obvious large investment of R&D. Who invests in R&D these days anyway?

Are you saying that this news article is anecdotal and incorrect about the actual situation? It seems to me that as a whole, the situation with adjunct teachers is quite bad..

I'm not against the idea of using postgres, but I have a sneaky suspicion, that you could have gotten that 30% speed benefit from MySQL, if you did some performance work on it. Or in other words, I don't feel that migrating from o

Take it from me (MySQL performance engineer).. if you are on AWS, the secret sauce is very tight data modelling. AWS is very unforgiving if you use it badly - on physical, you could have gotten away with a lot more. Some config tweaks will

Yeah, I really don't think we were made to outrun ostriches or any animal, really. Saying so set off a red light with me at the very start of the article. We can set traps and scavenge already dead bodies - thats pretty much it. Most

Not a labour supporter myself, but I would saying getting 31 more seats when you were expected to lose 20-100 (according to polls) is a victory. In addition to cons not having a majority, labour can now actually be a proper opposition.

The result is quite ironic. It was supposed to be a 'bloodbath' for the conservatives and the extreme right. It looks like the left/hard left got the young out to vote. This is largely a vote against austerity and possibly al

Technically there is a perl tool to make recommendations for mysql settings - although not with AI. As a DBA, I would probably use this, but 80% of the performance improvements come from indexing, fixing bad data models and archiving - espe

Not in a strike scenario. Its just that I've been in a unionized environment and while it has many benefits, if the employee doesnt feel like doing something management wants - they simply wont do it. Dont agree with the direction, not

Contractors are especially needed in unionized permanent companies - where contractors/3rd party companies are needed just to get things moving in the direction management wants.

I like this sort of mentality in companies that think they are some sort of hot start ups that can fire anyone they feel like. I dunno how it is with management types, but this sort of approach is extremely amusing to me in niche skill area
