Some light weekend reading: How the #GoogleCloud #Spanner #PostgreSQL interface works under-the-hood. cloud.google.com/blog/products/…

#GoogleCloud #Spanner just released table operation statistics to help you identify abnormal behavior on your #database tables. ProTip: Because indexes are implemented as tables under-the-hood, you can use these statistics to identify unused indexes! cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/i…

New #CloudSpanner query optimizer version went GA yesterday that includes improvements to cost model and cardinality estimations. Always improving! cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/q…

@santhoshkv6 @lesv Happy to get more info on what you're trying to do. Feel free to DM me

@lesv I am planning to use change streams for Spanner instance. The problem I am facing is we are having huge transactional data in the spanner. For any updates to columns new rows getting inserted into Bigquery which creates a huge amount of data in BQ. Can you help here?

Since its launch, Cloud Spanner change streams has seen broad adoption by Spanner customers in healthcare, retail, financial services, and other industries. google.smh.re/32cD

really don't like the new @Slack interface for multiple Slack accounts. Am I the only one?

One highlight at #GoogleCloudNext23 for was #CloudSpanner Data Boost. Now run analytic workloads w/o impacting operational workloads on your Spanner instance. Watch to learn more (blog linked in video for folks that don't want to watch videos): youtube.com/watch?v=S7AXi2…

ok that's real obnoxious.

"It's so simple" says the developer who needs to implement some #GenAI features on #GoogleCloud cloud.google.com/blog/products/…

#CloudSQL for #PostgreSQL and #AlloyDB both support #pgvector now. Cool! cloud.google.com/blog/products/…

Loved this summary of storing and using vector data in #PostgreSQL jkatz05.com/post/postgres/…

If you're evaluating #CloudSpanner and at the point of wanting to migrate, have you seen HarbourBridge? Try it out, hit me up if you run into any issues cloud.google.com/blog/topics/de…

For any of my database friends in the UK, this might be interesting to you! lnkd.in/epcWJdw9

"Is it the right conclusion? Absolutely. Is it helpful and valuable? Probably not too much, except of course in the case when you want to figure out if you can use a 4 CPU 32 GB server for a 24 MB [#PostgreSQL] dataset." Love this…lnkd.in/eB5DAsqR lnkd.in/e74cM9fq

I’ve basically lost all of my travel experience since COVID. So many hiccups on this trip. Glad to be out again though

Fireside chat #PerconaLive they’ve mentioned #AI for #databases 2 of the promised 3 times.

It's "morally wrong" to #remotework because not everyone can. But not "morally wrong" to fly private jets when people fly commercially, or can't fly at all. Right @elonmusk ? cnbc.com/2023/05/16/elo…

Up and to the right is not always good. Rather than politicizing raising the #DebtCeiling I'd love to see headlines where we reduced it. If we can we get politicians to reduce US debt, then unicorns exist. Chart data generated by #Google #Bard

Looking forward to #PerconaLive 2023 next week! Are you going?
