Where:
James Squire Brewery The April meeting of the Sydney Linux Users Group will be held on the 5th of April. Meet us at the James Squire Brew House at King St Wharf from 18:30 onwards. Gavin Sherry will be giving a follow up to Anand's talk last month. This talk will explore the mechanisms available in PostgreSQL which can be used to ensure data integrity: unique indexes, column level constraints and foreign keys. Neil will be delivering a talk on the PostgreSQL query planner. This is a first look at the talk he plans to deliver at linux.conf.au. The final talk of the evening will be on techniques to migrate PostgreSQL to MySQL, including transforming NULL date columns to 0000-0-0, storing those pesky numbers which are greater than 2^31 and a script to remove error checking code from Java and C applications, since it is now redundant. For more information and background reading see this site. NOTE: There might be a video + postgresql talk as well.
