Time: 13:10–14:00
Room: Positano
This talk offers an analysis of the history and evolution of data storage formats, explaining the rationale behind different strategies and specific use cases they were designed to address. It also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each of them. We will compare these solutions with PostgreSQL's current "heap" file implementation and show some ideas for future changes to enhance PostgreSQL's storage capabilities.
