| Postgres: The Bits you haven't found | |
| ==================================== | |
| Postgres has a ton of really great features that you _probably_ don't know about yet. | |
| Peter van Hardenberg works on Heroku Postgres and has used a lot of them. | |
| You can get the slides here, along with links to further reading on each feature: | |
| http://postgres-bits.herokuapp.com/ | |
| Among the more mindblowing features were: | |
| * LISTEN/NOTIFY | |
| ** You can send pubsub style broadcasts from Postgres | |
| ** I found an example implementation here https://gist.github.com/fcurella/3490031 | |
| * REGEX | |
| ** Postgres has first-class regex support, so you're not just stuck with LIKE anymore | |
| ** You can even split text into a new table. WHOA! | |
| My wild, unedited notes are here: https://gist.github.com/gthomas/5066558 | |
