We're excited to host the September 2025 NYC PostgreSQL User Group Meetup on September 17, 2025!

6:30p - 7:30p: Talk: Databases in the AI Trenches

Talk: Databases in the AI Trenches

Since the creation of my presentation, Postgres and the Artificial Intelligence Landscape, artificial intelligence use has exploded, with much anticipation about its future. This talk explores many of the advances that has fueled this explosion, including multi-dimensional vectors, text embeddings, semantic/vector search, transformers, generative AI, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (rag). The talk includes semantic/vector search and rag examples. It finally covers how the valuable data stored in databases can be used to enhance AI usage.

About the Speaker:
Bruce Momjian is co-founder and core team member of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, and has worked on PostgreSQL since 1996. He has been employed by EDB since 2006. He has spoken at many international open-source conferences and is the author of PostgreSQL: Introduction and Concepts, published by Addison-Wesley. Prior to his involvement with PostgreSQL, Bruce worked as a consultant, developing custom database applications for some of the world's largest law firms. As an academic, Bruce holds a Masters in Education, an honorary doctorate, was a high school computer science teacher, and lectures internationally.

Link visible for attendees
#### Presented by Chandra Pathivada
RSVP

Discover the truth about PostgreSQL by questioning everything you thought you knew! In this interactive session, we use the Socratic method to explore the internals of PostgreSQL, encouraging critical thinking and helping you uncover underlying assumptions and knowledge gaps. Through thought-provoking questions and dynamic discussions, we will challenge common myths and misconceptions about PostgreSQL, revealing how it truly works behind the scenes. This approach not only deepens your understanding of PostgreSQL's architecture and features but also equips you with the analytical mindset to evaluate database technologies more effectively. Whether you’re a DBA, developer, or technology enthusiast, this session offers a unique and engaging way to learn about PostgreSQL by asking the right questions. Join us for an enlightening journey that demystifies PostgreSQL, one question at a time!
