The elephant in the room
The culture shock of moving from SQL Server to PostgreSQL

You are moving your data store from SQL Server to PostgreSQL and everything seems to be different.

In this talk, we'll discuss some fundamental differences between the two systems, rooted in the history of their development, from physical storage to transaction support, and from replication to backups. Be prepared for when it's time to flip the switch!

Prerequisites: Superficial familiarity with basic database concepts, such as indexing, transactions, and replication.

Audience: Database developers, DBA, and system architects.
