May's LAPUG meeting will be held at Cal-Poly Pomona. Keith Larson will be delivering a presentation on implementing non-trivial update-able views in PostgreSQL.

Preparatory Home Work:
This meeting will be hosted and attended by Cal-Poly Computer Science students. They would like us to give a 2 to 5 minute introduction on why we choose to use PostgreSQL in our profession in place of the other database brands that are available.

Time:
May 30, 7:00 pm

Location:
Cal-Poly Pomona - Building 8 Room 4

April's LAPUG Recap:
Matthew with Secom introduced LAPUG to the work of Security, Ticketing, and Financial Transaction equipment. We toured his build seeing the various stages of equipment fabrication, and then made our way to the PostgreSQL area. Seeing software, firmware, and hardware being designed and integrated was a very interesting experience. Our discussion evolved into PostgreSQL's Tuning Parameters. Each of the LAPUGers have tinkered with different parameters. However, it seems that more research can be done to understand how each turning parameter affects PostgreSQL. In regard to each parameter, what tests can be applied to PostgreSQL to determine if the parameter should be adjusted? These are good points for review.
