Schedule - PGConf.DE 2025
András in Windowsland - a DBA's (mis)adventures
Date: 2025-05-08
Time: 11:20–12:05
Room: Ballsaal 1
Level: Intermediate
Being quite familiar with operating Postgres in a Linux environment, some of my recent engagements led me to a mostly unknown land. It's full of wizards, unknown creatures, hidden traps - but fortunately, there are some well-known friends as well.
More seriously, we all know it's possible to operate Postgres on Microsoft Windows, but fewer know how to actually do it. This presentation aims to show what works in a familiar manner, what works completely differently, and what doesn't work at all. This will hopefully help fellow Linuxians when they have to help out someone on Windows.
The topics will include normal operation, scripting, backups, high availability, and more.
