Picking up on our last post on moving databases to the cloud, now, let’s look at what is involved with migrating your database workload to the cloud.
To migrate to a different database, you may need to change the schema to accommodate the new database. In moving between different relational databases, this is not generally a complex process,...

I admit it: I invented force_parallel_mode. I believed then, and still believe now, that it is valuable for testing purposes. Certainly, testing using force_parallel_mode=on or force_parallel_mode=regress has uncovered many bugs in PostgreSQL's parallel query support that would otherwise have been very difficult to find. At the same time, it's...

This blog will continue the discussion of parallel query in PostgreSQL. In the previous blog of this series, we learned about parallel index scans, its design in PostgreSQL and the performance improvement achieved for a few queries on the industrial benchmark of TPC-H. Therein we analyzed the performance improvement only for a small factor of 20 (...

Before PostgreSQL 10, Postgres users partitioned their data using inheritance based partitioning. The method used constraints to define the partitions and rules or triggers to route the data to appropriate partition. A user had to write and maintain code for all of that. PostgreSQL 10 introduced declarative partitioning, which is much easier to...

Cost based optimization
A query may be executed in many different ways, modeled as plans in the query optimizer, differing in resources required and/or execution time. A typical DBMS's query optimizer tries to find all of the possible plans for executing a given query and chooses the fastest plan amongst those. But it's not possible to calculate...
