Generalized Search Trees (GiST) are one of the distinctive architectural features of Postgres. GiST uses the idea of dividing objects into groups based on some similarity feature. At the same time, it is already very different from the original scientific papers in which the first ideas were proposed. You will learn about the innovations and features that are still in development.

In this report, I will tell you about one interesting, in my opinion, case of our client. I will share how a series of errors at different stages of the database lifecycle once led to its complete shutdown for more than a week, wraparound, broken blocks, maintenance problems and sleepless nights in search of a solution.

Autonomous transactions (AT) are executed independently of the main transactions that trigger them, and will be completed successfully even if the main transaction has rolled back. Let's look at what ATs are, how and when they are used, what are the possibilities, limitations and implementation mechanisms.

What can PostgreSQL offer to server application developers today and in the near future? We will share our experience and talk about the prospects, about hot code reloading, updating application versions, comparing strongly typed data with JSON, FDW and http API calls directly from the database, as well as plv8 and PL/pgSQL.

Vanilla PostgreSQL implements a query optimizer that has its roots back in the 1970s. The method is still relevant today, but there are some drawbacks. In the report, we will talk about an alternative that is gaining more attention , is much more extensible and has other advantages. In the PostgreSQL world, this framework is implemented in the ORCA product for the distributed analytical database Greenplum.

The optimizer is the DBMS brain that chooses the way queries are executed. And sometimes... it makes mistakes. Let's figure out why this happens and how to fix its errors using the pg_hint_plan extension, then let's step a little further and train the neural network to automate the process.
