Indexing Wikipedia with PostgreSQL | The goal is to see which settings are most suitable for the creation of a GIN index.
pg_stat_statements: The way I like it
Finding slow queries using the PostgreSQL extension pg_stat_statements. Improve your database performance and monitoring.
Scaling PostgreSQL: Using more than just one core for aggregation
Unfortunately PostgreSQL cannot scale a single query to more than one core. We have done some experiments to see how scaling up can work.
pgstrom: PostgreSQL on a GPU with joins
Test of performance using pgstrom with joins in PostgreSQL. Find out how pgstrom performs under different join conditions.
pgstrom: Checking GPU performance
A more extensive look at pgstrom (a module to make use of GPUs for PostgreSQL). I was excited to see the first real performance data.
Testing GPU-accelerated PostgreSQL
Some important work is also going into the PGStrom project, which is all about bringing the power of modern GPUs to PostgreSQL
Fuzzy search solves the problem of spelling errors in searches. The goal is really to make sure that users have a chance - even with typos.
JSON is used for configuration, data transfer, and a lot more. Luckily PostgreSQL is pretty good at it. Turn xlog into JSON.
