About us
We are a community that seeks to deepen their understanding of PostgreSQL, The World's Most Advanced Open Source Database.
We explore ways to extend Postgres, build applications atop it, interface it to other databases, and tune it for maximum value. Please join us and discuss your Postgres experiences, share the tips and tricks you've learned using it, and learn from your peers.
Our group has adopted the PostgreSQL Code of Conduct (https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/coc/)
