Add an eventPostSQL - using PostgreSQL as a better NoSQL
A session at EuroPython 2012
Tuesday 3rd July, 2012
12:15pm to 1:00pm
A short overview how PostgreSQL can be used for tasks that are currently often delegated to heterogeneous bunch of data storage solutions referred to by common name NoSQL. Covered topics from traditional NoSQL area are:
- developer friendlyness, even for sloppy developers
- scalability
- easy extensibility and maintainability
And from SQL part
- partial ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) ,
- general BASE (basically available, soft state, eventually consistent)
- business rule checking in database, hard to overlook even in case of multiple applications using the same data

Principal Consutant, 2ndQuadrant Nordic OÜ
I have been using python since version 1.1, Linux since 0.9 and PostgreSQL since before it used SQL. I was the first DBA at Skype where I have worked extensively on scaling the PostgreSQL database, designing a new partitioning language, pl/proxy, which, together with queueing system pgQ enables infinite database scalability. Currently my interest is in better integration of scripting languages like python into PostgreSQL backend and in better integration of front-end and back.end python code.
