Postgres Storytelling: Cunning Schema Design with Creative Data Modeling
Evelyn Kates was not sure how to get started designing the database schema for a complex application. She has been commissioned to track the results of the Chess tournament. Evelyn’s colleagues advised her to meet the grumpy DBAs in the cellar of the building to get some help, but instead of a grumpy dude, she found Monica DeBea, the talented yet underrated support engineer who was capable of taking up any challenge. Using her experience, Monica sat with Evelyn and a coffee - two coffees - and they set themselves to the creative and rewarding task of data modeling.
In this presentation in the format of an illustrated storytelling, you will learn some principles of data modeling, letting PostgreSQL guarantee data integrity. This will help you build the business logic in the model itself, giving you extra powers as software developer, while learning to collaborate with your DBA team. We believe that with this talk you will want to start applying these principles to your current and future projects.
