tobias_irmeron Universe expected to decay in 10⁷⁸ years, much sooner than previously thought

To me that still sounds like forever.

I couldn't have put it any better.

tobias_irmeron We migrated our PostgreSQL database with 11 seconds downtime

It isn't? AWS is crazy expensive and you don't have as much control over things as you may occasionally need. The best decision we took in the past few years with regards to infrastructure was moving away from AWS and doing everything ourselves.

On RDS we had inexplicable spikes in cost, deteriorating support and no real support for any of our issues. When we tried using DMS, it just didn't work as expected, even after spending two days on the phone with their support.

tobias_irmeron Zero-downtime schema migrations in Postgres using Reshape

I haven't used that, yet. But this has me confused:

"An automatically updatable view may contain a mix of updatable and non-updatable columns. A column is updatable if it is a simple reference to an updatable column of the underlying base relation; otherwise the column is read-only, and an error will be raised if an INSERT or UPDATE statement attempts to assign a value to it."

Isn't splitting full_name into two columns a complex reference (for lack of a better word)?

How do INSERTs work if you are migrating from `full_name` to `first_name` - `last_name`?
