At PostgreSQL Conference Europe, Floor Drees and Boriss Mejías are helping shape a week that bridges the technical and the human sides of Postgres: from designing databases and understanding MVCC to exploring mental health and neurodiversity in open source. Let's dive in!

Gabriele Bartolini and Floor Drees look forward to their PGConf EU talk, and the #PostgreSQL on Kubernetes Summit next week - they think cloud native and databases mix very well:

I dislike RTO for a number of reasons (namely, not everyone likes living in big cities) but I also just need people to understand that on my period I am doing you a kindness if I work from home

One of the headlining features of PostgreSQL 18 is virtual generated columns, which our Chief Architect Peter Eisentraut worked on. He tells the engaging story of that feature on the EDB blog: www.enterprisedb.com/blog/journey... #PostgreSQL #PG18

The journey to virtual generated columns

For some reason, when I started out on this project, I decided to start with virtual generated columns. I think on balance that might have appeared to be the most requested kind, and maybe I also thought it was the easiest to implement first. I was wrong!

I love this honest and funny post from Jacob. Worth a read if you're curious how someone can stay motivated year 4 into getting a feature included into PostgreSQL:

EDB @edbpostgres.bsky.social · Sep 26

PostgreSQL 18 ships with support for OAuth 2.0. Jacob Champion, Principal Software Engineer at EDB, posted the first proof-of-concept for this feature back in 2021. He shares the journey (and some spicy opinions) on the blog: www.enterprisedb.com/blog/develop...

On Developing OAuth

Some thoughts on the history and development process behind the new OAuth support in PostgreSQL 18, and some hopes and dreams for the future.
