PostgreSQL Meetup

Dear Chicago PUG members!

Our July meetup is scheduled for Jul 13 at 5-30 PM - please note a different start time!

After a long wait, we are thrilled to welcome back Jonathan Katz!

Talk title: PostgreSQL 15 Features and How They Impact You
Description:

PostgreSQL 15 will be generally available later in 2022! What does this
mean for your data?

This talk explores PostgreSQL 15 enhancements (along with some history)
and looks at how they improve developer experience (MERGE and SQL/JSON), optimize support for backups and compression, logical replication improvements, enhanced security and performance, and more.
