Learning PostgreSQL as a SQL Server User

More and more organizations are hosting their data on multiple platforms. One of the fastest growing relational platforms is PostgreSQL. While the root behaviors of tables and relationships between them are the same, there remains a very distinct set of differences between PostgreSQL and other platforms.

If you've been a SQL Server user, developer, DBA, and your organization is now adding PostgreSQL to the mix, you may have a somewhat steep learning curve ahead. This session is meant to reduce the size of that hill you're going to climb as you add PostgreSQL skills. We'll cover the common aspects of both platforms, the subtle differences between the two, and, of course, some of the unique behaviors to separates PostgreSQL from SQL Server. You'll get a good introduction to the core behaviors of PostgreSQL and the appropriate language to use when working with that data platform. All of this is designed to flatten out that learning curve and get you started supporting PostgreSQL just as well as you currently support SQL Server.
