Installing PostGIS from Source
PostGIS is PostgreSQL's killer extension, but compiling and installing it isn't easy.
Common Linux Statistics CLI Tools
top, free, vmstat, iostat: Quick reference for four commonly used CLI tools
Go Database Tutorial: database/sql
Similar to JDBC, Go also has a standard database access interface. This article details how to use database/sql in Go and important considerations.
Implementing Cache Synchronization with Go and PostgreSQL
Cleverly utilizing PostgreSQL's Notify feature, you can conveniently notify applications of metadata changes and implement trigger-based logical replication.
Auditing Data Changes with Triggers
Sometimes we want to record important metadata changes for audit purposes. PostgreSQL triggers can conveniently solve this need automatically.
Building an ItemCF Recommender in Pure SQL
Five minutes, PostgreSQL, and the MovieLens dataset—that’s all you need to implement a classic item-based collaborative filtering recommender.
UUID Properties, Principles and Applications
UUID properties, principles and applications, and how to manipulate UUIDs using PostgreSQL stored procedures.
PostgreSQL MongoFDW Installation and Deployment
Recently had business requirements to access MongoDB through PostgreSQL FDW, but compiling MongoDB FDW is really a nightmare.
