PostgreSQL

David Steele, maintainer of the popular pgBackRest backup and restore project for PostgreSQL, has archived the project and announced that it is no longer being maintained.

After a lot of thought, I have decided to stop working on pgBackRest. I did not come to this decision lightly. pgBackRest has been my passion project for the last thirteen years, and I was fortunate to have corporate sponsorship for much of this time, but there were also many late nights and weekends as I worked to make pgBackRest the project it is today, aided by numerous contributors. Every open-source developer knows exactly what I mean and how much of your life gets devoted to a special project.

Since Crunchy Data was sold, I have been maintaining pgBackRest and looking for a position that would allow me to continue the work, but so far I have not been successful. Likewise, my efforts to secure sponsorship have also fallen far short of what I need to make the project viable.

Mi chiedo: è possibile fare lo sviluppatore da una vita intera e non aver mai, e dico MAI provato #PostgreSQL? 🤌

Ma è giunta l'ora di rimediare: martedì esploriamo in live su #Twitch usando PostgreSQL @postgresql con #Delphi e la libreria #FireDAC! 🎉

🎯 Cosa faremo:
Setup e primo contatto 🖖 con PostgreSQL
Connessione in Delphi grazie a FireDAC
Query di base e primi test reali

📅 Quando?
Martedì 14 Aprile, ore 21:30

👉 Dove?
Sul mio canale Twitch!

Google's recent massive contribution to @postgresql looks amazing: among the rest, proper active-active replication has landed: Oracle trembles!
