Thread: Regarding a small session on PostgreSQL
Hi all, I will be taking a small session on benefits of PostgreSQL in GSoc meetup in Mumbai,India on 15th June 2012. Please send me a relevant presentation I can use as reference while speaking and also some other material which may help me(I am a newbie hacker of PostgreSQL). The presentation will be approximately of 15 minutes. Thanks in advance, Atri -- Regards, Atri l'apprenant -- Regards, Atri l'apprenant
