Getting Started with PostgreSQL Triggers in a Distributed SQL Database

Getting Started with PostgreSQL Triggers in a Distributed SQL Database

Triggers are a basic feature that all monolithic SQL systems like Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL have supported for many years. They are very useful in a variety of scenarios ranging from simple audit logging, to advanced tasks like updating remote databases in a federated cluster. In this blog, we’ll look at examples of INSERT, UPDATE and INSTEAD OF triggers in Yugabyte DB.

What’s Yugabyte DB? It is an open source, high-performance distributed SQL database built on a scalable and fault-tolerant design inspired by Google Spanner.

The Effect of Isolation Levels on Distributed SQL Performance Benchmarking

The Effect of Isolation Levels on Distributed SQL Performance Benchmarking

This post addresses a concern raised about a benchmarking result we recently published comparing the performance of YugabyteDB, Amazon Aurora and CockroachDB. It was pointed out that we unfairly used the default isolation level for each database rather than use serializable isolation level in all databases (even though serializable level was not required for these workloads). In addition, we are also happy to share additional results with the workloads run at YugabyteDB’s serializable isolation level.

Getting Started with SQL Workbench/J on a Distributed SQL Database

Getting Started with SQL Workbench/J on a Distributed SQL Database

Although most databases ship with a command line utility to administer the instance, these utilities often come with a steep learning curve. If using the command line and learning sometimes arcane syntax makes you uncomfortable, there are graphical tools that can help you speed up many daily DBA tasks. In fact, you can find a comprehensive list of tools on the PostgreSQL wiki here. In a previous blog we explored the DBeaver database management tool,
