Here are ideas for possible presentations that either people have
mentioned to me or I have been kicking around:
Introduction to PostgreSQL - a brief run down on features,
set-up/administration, where to get help and information, where to find
add-on software,
PostgreSQL on Windows - Showcase postgresql native windows (hopefully),
explain how the different tools work, cover ODBC information.
From LRU to ARC - explain the changes involved in the switch and the
reasoning behind it.
Full Text Indexing with tsearch2 - explain how it all works
Optimizing PostgreSQL queries - explain output of explain commands and
what too look for in them. Also go over logging options that can help
PostgreSQL Advanced Tools and Tricks - examples of using complex
functions / data types / operators, using rules to make updateable
views, using triggers to make materialized views.
Replication - give a run down of various replication solutions,
including rserv in contrib, and rserve/slony from gborg. Potentially
highlight commercial offerings.
PostGIS - explain what it is, how you use it, how it's handy.
DataWarehousing with PostgreSQL - Cover improvements in 7.4 for this,
also some items in contrib.
PostgreSQL war stories - A good example is the .org registry, but it's
been done, so showcase another "enterprise level" setup, or perhaps a
migration from Oracle/DB2/m$
Anyone care to add to the list, or claim one of these?
