PostgreSQL: The World's Most Advanced Open Source Database.
We are a community of Postgres professionals who seek to deepen our understanding of this awesome relational database, explore ways to extend Postgres, build applications atop it, interface it to other databases, and tune it for maximum value. We seek to do this in a casual setting while sharing friendships, food, and - of course - beer. So come, join us and discuss your Postgres experiences and share the tips and tricks you've learned using it.
