Next Sydney PostgreSQL Users Group meeting: April 5th

The April meeting of the Sydney Linux Users Group will be held on the 5th
of April. Meet us at the James Squire Brew House[0] at King St Wharf from
18:30 onwards.

Gavin Sherry will be giving a follow up to Anand's talk last month. This
talk will explore the mechanisms available in PostgreSQL which can be used
to ensure data integrity: unique indexes, column level constraints and
foreign keys.

Neil will be delivering a talk on the PostgreSQL query planner. This is a
first look at the talk he plans to deliver at Linux.conf.au.

The final talk of the evening will be on techniques to migrate PostgreSQL
to MySQL, including transforming NULL date columns to 0000-0-0, storing
those pesky numbers which are greater than 2^31 and a script to remove
error checking code from Java and C applications, since it is now
redundant. For more information and background reading see this site[1].

Thanks,

Gavin
