Summary was: Reminder: Meeting November 9th at James Squire Brew House

Hmm, I had this sitting in my draft folder for a while week.

Anyway:

- Gavin gave us a presentation on Point-In-Time-Recovery (PITR).

If you are a Postgres DBA this talk was geared towards you. Ever
had someone 'inadvertedly' drop some critical table? Ever had a
database too large and/or critical to quiece in order to backup?

Gavin went through the pros and cons and explanied show of the
design decisions behind the code and some of its problems.

- Tim (Allen) explained how postgres is being used at Proximity

Tim gave us a brief overview of Proximity -- basically if you
watch TV then some of their software is being used for that --
and explained how postgres fits into their media management
interfaces

Afterwards the talk groups discussed creating dynamic schema tables
and ensuring that postgres testing is of a consistently
high-quality.

Some discussion about next month's sydpug took place (talk or
party?) without resolution.

Regards,
Anand
