I attended the Postgres Conference 2026 in San Jose, CA, yesterday, and I’m heading back for day two today. It's impressive to see how big tech companies are using and enhancing PostgreSQL.". I saw some great updates from Amazon (Aurora/RDS), Google (AlloyDB). Beyond the giants, it’s the specialized tools that really caught my eye—companies like Yugabyte and Neon (formerly CockroachDB/Constructive) are doing some really cool things with distributed and serverless Postgres. I also want to mention CloudNativePG. I attended a session by EDB engineers who provided comprehensive materials and a guided lab. Running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes is clearly the future. Finally, I heard from AWS engineers about the upcoming features in Amazon Aurora 18. I’ll post some photos soon, though some slides went by too fast for me to get a clear shot! 😉 Links : https://cloudnative-pg.io/ https://lnkd.in/gP3cHsWg https://lnkd.in/gP3cHsWg https://constructive.io/
Recently I faced one of familiar Oracle error ORA -00942 : table or view does not exist I got it in while compiling procedure, because eventually I found it became invalid state. I tried to create new directory and give read/write permission on it and change inside procedure, but it still was INVALID. But instead inside procedure I put hard code path of that directory it was success. Like: create or replace procedure `procedure_name` ( `variable` IN varchar2 ) AS `variable` varchar2(2000) := '/../../dir'; begin select ... into `variable` from dba_directories whhere directnory_name = '...'; .... .... end; / But it is not make sense. Then after google I found to overcome that issue, all I need to grant ALL on dba_directories to user not only READ, WRITE. As SYS grant all on dba_diretories to `user`' then I was able to compile successfully original procedure, no longer need to manipulate procedure. SQL> set linesize ...
