  6. If anyone had told me in 1984, when I stumbled over a software called dBASE II, that knowledge about query languages (started learning SQL three o four years later) would still prove to be a valuable skill over 40 years later, I would have laughed at this person.

  7. PostgreSQL tool developer Neon reviews new features coming to PostgreSQL 19 by the end of 2026, when it's officially released. These include native graph query support (adhering to the SQL:2023 standard) a feature which previously required additional separate products.

    Other feature and improvement topics include:

    1. DML Improvements
    2. Query Planning Hints
    3. Maintenance
    4. Operations
    5. Upgrades.

  8. PostgreSQL people, I hope you're planning to tune into @posetteconf (free & virtual) on 16-18 June & this new "ultimate guide" blog post should help you figure out which of the 44 #Postgres talks & 4 livestreams are for you

    Lots of work happening behind the scenes by the speakers & the organizers to bring all this learning to you in this year's #PosetteConf (hard to believe this is the 5th year!)

  9. SQLite never ceases to impress me. It is frequently looked down upon by developers because of supposedly not being a "real database" like PostgreSQL, MySQL etc.

    But did you know that SQLite core has 100% percent test coverage? Or that there is 590 (!!!) times as much test code as there is product code in the SQLite project?

    While I really like PostgreSQL, SQLite brings joy to all projects where I can use it -- small footprint, reliable and full-featured.

  10. Twin brothers wipe 96 gov't #databases minutes after being #fired

    In the US, fired and laid-off workers often have their digital #credentials deactivated before they learn about the loss of their jobs; indeed, the inability to log in to a corporate system may be the first an employee knows of the situation.
