This has results from sysbench on a small server with Postgres versions 12 through 19 beta1. Sysbench is run with high concurrency (40 connections) and a cached database. The purpose is to search for changes in performance.Postgres remains boring, it is hard to find performance regressions.tl;dr...

This has results for Postgres versions 19 beta1, 18.4 and 17.10 with the Insert Benchmark on a small server using a cached and CPU-bound workload. I also used MySQL 8.4.8 to see where performance was different.Postgres continues to be boring in a good way. It is hard to find performance...

This has results for HammerDB tproc-c on a large server using MySQL and Postgres. I am new to HammerDB and still figuring out how to explain and present results so I will keep this simple and just share graphs without explaining the results.tl;drThere are small regressions in versions 16, 17 and...

This has results for modern Postgres and MySQL using write-heavy tests from sysbench and a large server. I think there are regressions in Postgres that arrive in some of versions 16, 17, 18 and 19 beta1 but I am far from certain and this blog post is just another step in my journey to figure that...

This has results from sysbench on a small server with Postgres 19 beta1, 18.4 and 17.10. Sysbench is run with low concurrency (1 thread) and a cached database. The purpose is to search for changes in performance, often from new CPU overheads.tl;dr19beta1, 18.4 and 17.10 have mostly similar...

This post has results for CPU-bound sysbench vs Postgres, MySQL and MariaDB on a large server using older and newer releases. The goal is to measure:how performance changes over time from old versions to new versionsperformance between modern MySQL, MariaDB and PostgresThe context here is a...

This has results for Postgres versions 12.22 through 18.3 with the Insert Benchmark on a small server. My previous post for the same hardware with results up to Postgres 18.1 is here. This post also has results for:all 17.x releases from 17.0 through 17.9 18.2 with and without full page writes...

I started to use TPROC-C from HammerDB to test MariaDB, MySQL and Postgres and published results for MySQL and Postgres on small and large servers. This post provides more detail on CPU overheads for MariaDB, MySQL and Postgres on a small server.tl;drPostgres get the most throughput and the...

I am fascinated by tech marketing but would be lousy at it.A common practice is to admit nothing -- my product, project, company, idea is perfect. And I get it because admitting something isn't perfect just provides fodder for marketing done by the other side, and that marketing is often done in...

Shared reference data can be a tricky aspect of software development, especially in distributed or microservice-based architectures. Enter Filby, an open-source library that simplifies the management of such data, ensuring consistency, reliability, and flexibility. Here, we’ll explore how Filby...

Introduction If you've ever dealt with ANY database system you probably encountered the ACID acronym. Let's briefly go over each of the principles it describes: A for Atomicity The concept of treating something (a block of data operations in our context) as a single, indivisible unit of work. C...

Part 2 of a 2-part post on the FTS features available in Postgres and how you might use them to build a simple search API. If you want to follow along head over to the GitHub repo, grab the source data and spin up the included docker config, we'll be searching a database of 50,000 movies. Check...

Everyone needs Full Text Search (FTS) at some point and the most common way to get it is to push your data to Elastic/OpenSearch, Solr, or something else built on top of Lucene. It's a solution that works but adds extra complexity, cost, and consistency challenges. So, what if I told you that, if...

During my flight I finally decided to watch the “Shape of Water”. I knew the film was critically acclaimed but I wasn’t expecting a lovecraftian theme and it never clicked with me that it was directed by Guillermo del Toro - it was a very fitting thing to watch during a flight above the ocean...

Django has several PostgreSQL database functions to support full-text search. If you are using PostgreSQL as the database backend, then it is easy to add full-text search to your Django app. In this post, I would like to build an demo app with full-text search. This post covers several...

0. What’s this and what’s not This is not an SQL course, not even a crash-course, not a introduction, not a master class… It’s just a compilation of tips, tricks or unusual uses of PostgreSQL / PostGIS that I use a lot and may be helpful for anybody out there. Just try to keep your brain within...

Интересную проблему удалось решить вчера. Вот уже несколько месяцев мы в Naumen Phone используем Docker для создания окружения для сборки и тестирования приложений. Технология для этих целей подходит отлично, экономит кучу времени и нервов по сравнению с тем, что было раньше. Образ контейнера...

Last post I brute forced the storage of binary image (jpeg) data as text in a Postgresql database, and accordingly brute forced the data's display in the Unix image viewer feh from output from a psql query. It was hackish and I received some negative, but good constructive criticism on how to...

Last post I set up a toy (literally) Postgresql database for my model train car collection. A big part of the utility of the database is its ability to store images (pictures or photos) of the real life prototype and model train cars. Postgresql (based on my google research) offers a couple...

Hash tables are one of the best features in Kamailio, but they can be a double edged sword. Build web applications that work with the htables architecture can be difficult. I am using Django since a few years ago. This framework had helped me a lot with forms, database models, fixtures, test,...
