PostgreSQL vs MySQL For years, the common industry perception has been that MySQL is faster and easier to use than PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is perceived as more powerful, more focused on data integrity, and stricter at complying with SQL specifications, but correspondingly slower and more complicated to use. Like many perceptions formed in the past, these things aren't as true with the current generation of releases as they used to be. DBAs, developers, and IT managers and decision-makers will benefit from this hour-long presentation about the pros and cons of using PostgreSQL or MySQL, which will include a discussion about the ongoing trend towards using open source in the enterprise. |

Using EnterpriseDB to Offload Reporting and Save Money Is your OLTP application suffering because of all the reports that are being run? With the enormous amounts of data being captured today, analysis of the data is a fundamental requirement to remain agile and efficient. However, these reports are growing more complex every day and generating these reports puts an unprecedented burden on the application, slowing transaction throughput, reducing productivity, and potentially limiting sales. Learn how Postgres Plus Advanced Server is being used to offload reporting from production Oracle databases to increase productivity and performance, while saving companies millions of dollars. |

Migrating Oracle to Postgres Plus Advanced Server Many Oracle shops are seeking to rationalize their database costs through the use of open source technology. This presentation will briefly identify popular Oracle compatibility strategies such as edge application deployments, special purpose databases for replication and reporting/BI, and full database migration. The discussion will then cover the database migration strategy in detail, including identification of candidate applications and databases, project planning, migration best practices and available migration technologies. The presentation is primarily targeted at developers and DBAs, although it is also appropriate for IT managers. |

Manager's Guide to Oracle Cost Containment IT organizations face a fundamental dilemma: the demand for more and better business information is sharply increasing during a time when information management budgets are either flat or declining. IT has reduced spend on operating systems and application servers by systematically deploying open source alternatives (Linux and JBoss). However, recent studies show that IT views the database as the next priority for cost control. This power-packed session provides managers and architects with a roadmap for controlling Oracle database costs. The discussion covers a variety of cost containment strategies, identifies potential risk/reward scenarios and recommends cost containment starting points. The presentation also highlights the Oracle cost management strategies of noteworthy organizations such as Sony Online Entertainment and FTD. |
