"Language is a Virus: Managing Locales in PostgreSQL" with Christophe Pettus
Details
Join us virtually on Tuesday, February 11th for "Language is a Virus: Managing Locales in PostgreSQL" with Christophe Pettus.
This is a pragmatic look at PostgreSQL's support for locales, in particular around character encoding and collations. It is intended for DBAs and developers who want to make use of PostgreSQL's extensive locale features with a minimum number of gotchas. Among the topics are:
* A quick overview of locales, character encodings, and collations.
* What a "locale provider," and how do you use it?
* How do various collations perform, really?
* What are the use cases for various locales?
* And what is this horrible thing about index corruption I hear about?
Schedule:
12:00 PM Announcements, speaker introduction, presentation, Q&A.
1:15 PM Closing announcements, wrap up.
1:30 PM Event ends.
The link and detailed joining instructions, including the dial-in numbers for phone access, will be sent by email the day prior to the event, and posted on Meetup for those who have RSVPed "Yes".
