RISE is a free software suite for model driven information system development. Use a single source RISE model to generate your entire information solution including database, web services and documentation. Boost development throughput and improve quality and maintainability!<br />
<br />
The RISE user experience is based on a project concept, similar to that of most integrated development environments. The user works with resources and drawings that are part of a single development project.<br />
<br />
RISE supports a fully graphical approach to information modeling and system engineering, using ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) as well as UML (Unified Modeling Language). This includes drag-and-drop of entities, their attributes and relations, as well as of views and entire web services.<br />
<br />
RISE supports graphic editing of complex objects such as views and orchestrated methods. RISE automatically safeguards the combination process, thus, assuring a technically correct result. <br />
<br />
RISE provides several ways to generate code from the model; directly to file, via the RISE Server or as an Internet service. RISE provides code generators for the database layer (SQL/DDL) as well as for the server side application layer (web services and persistent classes). All database scripts are incremental allowing you to install and maintain any number of databases from a single model. <br />

=== Postgres Compare ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Postgres_compare.png|thumb|left|frameless]]<br />
<br />
https://www.postgrescompare.com/<br />
<br />
Windows, Mac & Linux<br />

=== JetBrains IDEs - DataGrip, IntelliJ IDEA, PHPStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, etc ... ===<br />
<br />
http://www.jetbrains.com/<br />
<br />
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux<br />
<br />
JetBrains has a dedicated SQL IDE — DataGrip which can connect to PostgreSQL as well. It provides code completion, multicursors, local query history, navigation, refactorings and language injection support. <br />
https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/<br />
<br />
Other JetBrains Products, for example PHPStorm, have built-in database plugin, and it has the same functionality as DataGrip.<br />
<br />
After you configured the data sources of your project, you can easily create tables, foreign keys, indexes much easier than usually, because the IDE is very smart; for example by foreign keys it automatically sets the name of the key, and the related columns. For me it is so far the best experience by creating a basic database schema. Even with editable EER models was it slower...<br />
By the settings of <span class="plainlinks">[http://goo.gl/TuqiPR<span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">pantun romantis terbaru]</span> your data source you can configure the SQL dialect of your database. After that if you want to add stored procedures or triggers, you will have code completion which is favorable too. So I think JetBrains products speed up your work if you exactly know what you want, and how can you make it.<br />
<br />
For any JetBrains IDE there is a free license for open source projects. For enterprise usage there is a 30 days trial, after that you can buy personal or commercial license which are very cheap compared to other products.<br />
<br />
For PyCharm (even the Community Edition) you can install the free third-party plugin [http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/CONTEST/Database+Navigator Database Navigator] (Settings -> IDE Settings -> Plugins). It appears to deliver the same functionality described above for PHPStorm. You will get a new menu DB Navigator, left to the Help menu.<br />

<div>What is Multimaster? (MM)<br />
<br />
MM = BDR + DTM bidirectional replication + Distributed Transaction Manager<br />
<br />
Currently Postgres has BDR, but no global consistency.<br />
<br />
Without DTM: Can balance read-only queries, but write queries must go to master.<br />
<br />
Can logically split out queries that update database and send to master.<br />
<br />
MM solves this. All nodes symmetric, any client can run any query against any node.<br />
<br />
Multimaster is based on logical replication. <br />
Query executes as normally. Query hit XLOG. XLOG serialized and replicated to all other nodes.<br />
Other nodes have a logical receiver and apply the changes at the local node.<br />
If we apply a transaction at a secondary node, this will be slow, and have the<br />
potential for distributed deadlock.<br />
To avoid infinite loop, we must distinguish between transactions which originated at this node, vs transactions of foreign origin.<br />
<br />
Logical replication slots - see slides for structure<br />
<br />
How to preserve consistency when a node crashes?<br />
<br />
If all nodes have to preserve outstanding transactions until the node comes back up, then all nodes have to preserve states and ordering of transactions.<br />
Instead - choose which node (currently chosen randomly) and perform recovery from a single node.<br />
<br />
HA topology is maintained via RAFT protocol. We build a global graph of node availability. Identify all critical nodes, and exclude (something about nodes that aren’t part of well-connected node subset).<br />
<br />
Performance comparison of MM using a custom test which allows specification of % of updates. <br />
MM with 3 nodes is about 2X standalone Postgres when 0% updates in test set.<br />
Updates must be written at all nodes, so performance will be the same as standalone Postgres.<br />
<br />
This means MM is best for applications with high ratio of reads to writes.<br />
<br />
DTM is based on commit serial numbers, and mapping between CSN’s and SIDs adds overhead. So 1-node MM case is significantly slower for reads than standalone Postgres.<br />
<br />
Comparison of Galera vs PostgreSQL MM running sysbench: (graph)<br />
<br />
Live Demonstration<br />
<br />
On Github, postgres_xtm_docker repository is available. It creates three containers, with a master and two shards.<br />
Example is to show DTM working with two nodes doing FDW.<br />
Without DTM, you will have problems with transaction isolation. (can be enabled or disabled in the docker_compose.yaml file)<br />
<br />
Running xtmbench - with XTM disabled, will show the cluster inconsistencies as the test runs.<br />
<br />
Q&A:<br />
<br />
What work needs to be done still?<br />
<br />
Failure detection (quite hard) - <br />
Suggestion: Jepsen for net-split fault injection?<br />
<br />
Josh Berkus had another question, but I couldn't follow the question or the answer.<br />
<br />
Question about overhead of CSN<->SID mapping. Implementation is currently single-threaded, could be improved, but focus is on correct operation, not performance, at this stage.<br />
<br />
Possible to have streaming replication?<br />
<br />
Yes, out of the code DTM space, you can stream replicate to nodes that aren't part of the MM set.<br />
<br />
Question: Can you promote slaves to masters?<br />
<br />
You can insert new nodes by switching node from being a replica to be part of the MM set.<br />
<br />

Some slides from pg_pathman lightning talk were discussed re: better filter condition processing, which simplifies the plans and execution.<br />

On Github, postgres_xtm_docker repository is available. It creates three containers, with a master and two shards.<br />
Example is to show DTM working with two nodes doing FDW.<br />
Without DTM, you will have problems with transaction isolation. (can be enabled or disabled in the docker_compose.yaml file)<br />
<br />
Running xtmbench - with XTM disabled, will show the cluster inconsistencies as the test runs.<br />

Failure detection (quite hard) - <br />
Suggestion: Jepsen for net-split fault injection?<br />
<br />
Josh Berkus had another question, but I couldn't follow the question or the answer.<br />
<br />
Question about overhead of CSN<->SID mapping. Implementation is currently single-threaded, could be improved, but focus is on correct operation, not performance, at this stage.<br />
<br />
Possible to have streaming replication?<br />
<br />
Yes, out of the code DTM space, you can stream replicate to nodes that aren't part of the MM set.<br />
<br />
Question: Can you promote slaves to masters?<br />
<br />
You can insert new nodes by switching node from being a replica to be part of the MM set.<br />

<div>What is Multimaster? (MM)<br />
<br />
MM = BDR + DTM bidirectional replication + Distributed Transaction Manager<br />
<br />
Currently Postgres has BDR, but no global consistency.<br />
<br />
Without DTM: Can balance read-only queries, but write queries must go to master.<br />
<br />
Can logically split out queries that update database and send to master.<br />
<br />
MM solves this. All nodes symmetric, any client can run any query against any node.<br />
<br />
Multimaster is based on logical replication. <br />
Query executes as normally. Query hit XLOG. XLOG serialized and replicated to all other nodes.<br />
Other nodes have a logical receiver and apply the changes at the local node.<br />
If we apply a transaction at a secondary node, this will be slow, and have the<br />
potential for distributed deadlock.<br />
To avoid infinite loop, we must distinguish between transactions which originated at this node, vs transactions of foreign origin.<br />
<br />
Logical replication slots - see slides for structure<br />
<br />
How to preserve consistency when a node crashes?<br />
<br />
If all nodes have to preserve outstanding transactions until the node comes back up, then all nodes have to preserve states and ordering of transactions.<br />
Instead - choose which node (currently chosen randomly) and perform recovery from a single node.<br />
<br />
HA topology is maintained via RAFT protocol. We build a global graph of node availability. Identify all critical nodes, and exclude (something about nodes that aren’t part of well-connected node subset).<br />
<br />
Performance comparison of MM using a custom test which allows specification of % of updates. <br />
MM with 3 nodes is about 2X standalone Postgres when 0% updates in test set.<br />
Updates must be written at all nodes, so performance will be the same as standalone Postgres.<br />
<br />
This means MM is best for applications with high ratio of reads to writes.<br />
<br />
DTM is based on commit serial numbers, and mapping between CSN’s and SIDs adds overhead. So 1-node MM case is significantly slower for reads than standalone Postgres.<br />

<div>= pgCon 2016 User Unconference Day =<br />
<br />
The PostgreSQL Community is having our third User Unconference Day at pgCon 2016 in Ottawa! This event, extends pgCon and gives us additional opportunities to share, collaborate, and discuss about PostgreSQL development, hacking, usage, and community.<br />
<br />
For more about unconference days and why we're doing this, see the [[pgConUnconferenceFAQ|Unconference Day FAQ]].<br />
<br />
If you are interested in holding a session, or you want someone else to do a session on a particular topic on the Unconference day, please add your proposal to "session ideas" below.<br />
<br />
== Basic Information ==<br />
<br />
pgCon User Unconference Day<br />
<br />
Saturday, May 21st<br />
<br />
10am to 5:30pm<br />
<br />
Rooms: TBD<br />
<br />
Lunch with Pizza Provided<br />
<br />
Sponsored by: Salesforce.com<br />
<br />
== User vs. Developer Unconference ==<br />
<br />
This year, for the first time, we will be having a User Unconference ''and'' a Developer Unconference. The Developer Unconference will be on Wednesday, and its topics will be restricted to ones around contributing to PostgreSQL and major features currently under development. <br />
<br />
This page is for the User Unconference, which is on Saturday, and can include topics from any attendee at pgCon. While some of the topics will be about current PostgreSQL development, we also encourage you to bring late-release PostgreSQL related technology which emerged too late for the pgCon CFP. Or even discussion sessions about the community and other issues.<br />
<br />
== Unconference Schedule ==<br />
<br />
Important: if you are planning to propose as session, you need to be at the unconference at 10am sharp!<br />

== Session Ideas ==<br />
<br />
Please post your ideas for Unconference Sessions below. This could include either sessions you want to lead, or sessions you wish someone else would lead. Sessions which are proposed in advance and receive upvotes here on the wiki will be given priority when it comes time to pitch them.<br />
<br />

Description: <br />
<br />
There are no pictures in PostgreSQL documentation, which looks a bit ridiculous today. Recently the topic was raised again by Tatsuo Ishii [http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20160218.112955.2188834010458018982.t-ishii@sraoss.co.jp#20160218.112955.2188834010458018982.t-ishii@sraoss.co.jp] and discussion demonstrates that it is quite important. I suggest to discuss, what kind of pictures we would like to have (user feedback needed) and possible technical implementation. <br />
