to add a small thing to what Selena already said, Salesforce is sponsoring the "Unconference" day at PgCon 2013 (held in Ottawa this week). It could be nothing but it seems to me a good thing.

Despite of that, I think that if Salesforce will let Tom to focus on postgresql development as RedHat did in the past we(1) are ok.

(1) = postgresql users

I clearly remember that somewhere in 2001 I wrote to postgres (-bugs maybe) mailing list about a problem that we had with one of our server (it's a pity I didn't find the thread on the archives). pg_xlog run out of space due to some problem with WAL files recycling mechanism. I got a reply from Tom almost immediately asking for more details. After a few hours he saved my day sending me a freshly baked patch that solved the problem. amazing. I have a deep respect for him.

I thought the same thing till I saw this

Did they try to post about their problem on postgresql mailing list (both pgsql bugs and general apply here)?

Postgres community is quite responsive and usually give very effective advice, as long as you use the proper channel to communicate.

Postgresql documentation is terrific, really [1]. Then you can also use pgsql wiki [2]. Other useful resources are the searchable mailing lists archive [3]. Have a look also to pgcon.org web site, it's fully packed of presentation material (mainly pdf slides) gathered since 2007, just to give you an example look at Tom Lane's "http://www.pgcon.org/2011/schedule/events/350.en.html [4]

Speaking of books a few of the best I'm aware of are:

- PostgreSQL 9 Admin Cookbook (Simon Riggs, Hannu Krosing)

- PostgreSQL 9.0 High Performance (Gregory Smith)

- Instant PostgreSQL Backup and Restore How-to (Shaun M. Thomas)

all them from Packt Publishing

for a more in depth list of changes / new features look at release note[1] and the wiki 9.3Beta1 page[2]

Yep this is what I meant. I could have chosen my words in a better way though, since we were talking about a git commit. Having said that quoting commit message 2nd last paragraph:

The Postgres project thanks Mitsumasa Kondo for discovering this bug, Kyotaro Horiguchi for drafting the fix, and Noah Misch for recognizing the full extent of the danger.

We can't exclude without further info that Tom contributed to the fix, just saying.

Knowing him after a few years spent following postgres dev process I bet on co-authoring at least :)

And the author is a fantastic coder/developer, really!

you use the /usr/bin/script program to record a transcript of a session. no term emulators that i know of provide this kind of feature natively though.

Speaking of webrtc and sip just try sipml5.org I've just tested it with asterisk 11.2.0 and after a bit of fighting I was able to make it works (I'm not affiliated).

Not from heroku guys but definitely a worth reading http://thebuild.com/blog/2012/05/18/running-postgresql-on-aw...

@work we have done a lot of this kind of validations using a custom Tcl script, and luckily we have avoided to be blacklisted till now. Maybe it's due to the fact that validation requests come from an IP address marked as MX for the domain of the sender email address.

Anyway not all SMTP servers are RFC compliant, they respond with a 2XX code to a "RCPT TO" even if user/mailbox doesn't exists. The same thing applies also if the SMTP server is acting as a relay and has no immediate access to the delivering system.

as already mentioned there's no in core multi master replication, but other then the already listed solutions, you can have look at :

http://postgres-xc.sourceforge.net/

the project is sponsored by Enterprisedb and NTT

a quote from the home page:

"Postgres-XC is an open source project to provide a write-scalable, synchronous multi-master, transparent PostgreSQL cluster solution. It is a collection if tightly coupled database components which can be installed in more than one hardware or virtual machines."

[edit: sorry for the noise I did't notice that jeff davis already comment about postgres-xc]

Up and running now in Italy

just validation, json core type it's intentionally very minimal (see postgres hackers mailing list archives for more details)

anyway as a possible workaround just see andrew dustan's post:
