        <![CDATA[I have come back to Italy after the terrific experience of the European PostgreSQL Day 2009, which has been held in Paris last weekend.<br />Having organised the previous two editions, I must say that I am really proud of what the European community of PostgreSQL has become in the last two years, since its official birth.<br /><br /> ]]>
        <![CDATA[Of course, it is not a big community, but it has got lots of quality, enthusiasm and team work skills.<br />As I said to the members of PostgreSQLFr, which had most of the logistics stuff in charge, they picked all the things we did wrong in the last editions, they accepted most of our advices and the results was awesome. Knowledge sharing, experience and hard work produced the best edition of the PGDay.EU event so far.<br />The great thing is that every year we have improved.<br />Location was awesome and very practical (the only problem I have to note is the wireless connection which I did not have on Saturday).<br />We had great speakers and <a href="http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PGDay.EU%2C_Paris_2009">great talks</a>. Fortunately this year I could attend the talks (my first visitor PGDay). Unfortunately I could not follow them all due to the physical impossibility to attend two simultaneously. I was lucky enough and very proud to present a very challenging talk about <a href="http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PGDay.EU%2C_Paris_2009#12:00_-_12:50_Datawarehousing_with_PostgreSQL_.28Gabriele_Bartolini.29">Data warehousing with PostgreSQL</a>, which I hope could open new opportunities to PostgreSQL and attract companies and users from commercial RDBMS products.<br />So, merci beaucoup mes amis! Ah ... and see you next year in Holland!<br />]]>

        <![CDATA[Don't let the title of this article mislead you. This is not a review of the two RDBMS, rather a comment on the article "<a href="http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/postgresql-vs-mysql-comparative-review/">PostgreSQL vs MySQL - Comparative Review</a>" which has been forwarded to the PostgreSQL advocacy list.<br />I believe that, when doing this kind of reviews, we all must be careful. The most important thing is that enough information on both systems must be gathered in advance, in order to come up with an objective review.<br />Once I read the article, I have tried to post a comment, but I never saw my post displayed. This is why I decided to write something on my personal blog.<br /> ]]>
        <![CDATA[First, I want to comment the "Stability" section. Although this article has been published today (Aug 31, 2009), the writer says: "<i>The PostgreSQL 6.x series and those released before it suffered from
stability issue.&nbsp; Random disconnects, core dumps and memory leaks were
common with these series. However, the PostgreSQL 7.x series showed
significant improvement in terms of stability.</i>"<br />It is worth saying that current PostgreSQL's version is 8.4. Latest PostgreSQL 6.x is version 6.5.3, which was released in October 1999. Ten years ago. PostgreSQL 7.x is currently unsupported. PostgreSQL 7.0 started in 2000. PostgreSQL 7.1 in 2001, versions 7.2 and 7.3 in 2002 and 7.4 in 2003. PostgreSQL 8.0 came out in 2005, almost 5 years ago!<br />Once you have taken into account these notes, it is exciting to read the conclusion: "<i>However, the advent of version PostgreSQL 8.x shows that it's going though a process of continuous improvement.</i>"<br />My question is: Why in 2009 would you write a technical review of a product by totally ignoring the last 5 years of evolution of a product? By using a similar approach, I could write a comparison review of PostgreSQL by considering MySQL 3.23 (which I loved, by the way!).<br />Anyway, about the "SQL standard" compliance, I personally do not understand why it is important to point out that MySQL runs on almost any platform.<br />In the "Platforms" section, what does exactly mean that "MySQL runs better on Windows than PostgreSQL"? Also, have you considered PostgreSQL 8.x or PostgreSQL 6 or 7 with Cygwin?<br />I skip the rest sections, even though they are quite "attractive".<br />However, IMHO, the best part though is the large objects support, which totally ignores the fact that in most cases PostgreSQL users do not normally need large objects, thanks to the TEXT type and the BYTEA type. Those types, AFAIK, can be dumped very well by pg_dump.<br />Anyway, that's enough. I just wanted to show my disappointment in seeing this kind of articles on the web, especially if no way or means of debate are given to users.<br />I encourage people that want to get to know more about PostgreSQL to surf around the manual or subscribe one of the mailing lists for community support.<br />That's definitely the best way to get information on a community project such as PostgreSQL.<br />Another way is to participate to one of the community events organised by the volunteers.<br />In any case, my advice is to stay out from these inaccurate and outdated reviews.<br />]]>

        <![CDATA[We were extremely amazed to see how discouraging and appalling the current situation of the translations in Italian is.<br />The good thing is that we have rapidly organised a working group, made up of 9 volunteers, all members of the <a href="http://www.itpug.org/">Italian PostgreSQL Users Group</a>.<br />Thanks to the help of Alvaro Herrera, we have now started the translation of the smaller projects, hoping to tackle the most complex ones (postgres and psql) farther down the road.<br />The objective is to have 100% translated within a year.<br />Here is the list of the initial members of the group:<br /><ul><li>Cosimo D'Arcangelo
</li><li>Diego Cinelli
</li><li>Emanuele Zamprogno
</li><li>Flavio Spada
</li><li>Gabriele Bartolini
</li><li>Gianni Ciolli
</li><li>Maurizio Totti
</li><li>Marco Nenciarini
</li><li>Salvatore Nicolosi
</li><li>Vincenzo Romano
</li></ul>Let's hope this is not another failing attempt of translating PostgreSQL into Italian. I extremely rely on these guys support and contribution! Only time will tell, I guess. :)<br />]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Oggi sono stato alla seconda giornata del Pistoia Blues 2009, e devo dire che purtroppo non sono uscito molto soddisfatto. </p>
]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>L'unica eccezione è stata data dall'esibizione di Nick Becattini e della sua band. Un grande artista, accompagnato da bravissimi musicisti che hanno saputo calarsi meglio di tutti nella giornata in un evento come il Pistoia blues.</p>

<p>A seguire, Derek Trucks. Tecnicamente, un chitarrista impressionante. Però un po' noioso. Il resto, non mi ha entusiasmato (Joss Stone in testa).</p>

<p>Ad ogni modo, secondo me, 35 euro per il Pistoia Blues sono troppi (42 euro con la prevendita). E infatti, la piazza era vuota. Credo che se i prezzi li avesseri tenuti intorno ai 15 euro, avrebbero avuto almeno 3/4 volte il pubblico presente.</p>

<p>E poi, non si può dare la licenza per vendere cibo all'interno a dei veri ladri che per 5 euro vendevano panini con la porchetta di almeno due giorni prima. Vergogna, da NAS!</p>

<p>Comunque, bravo Nick e tutta la sua band! Ecco il video che ho ripreso e messo su Youtube.</p>

        <![CDATA[ Back in February and March, we had had several e-mail exchanges and a few Skype sessions with Professor Paolino Di Felice from the "<a href="http://www.univaq.it/">Università degli
Studi dell'Aquila</a>".<br />I was supposed to visit their University in May, together with my colleague Gianni Ciolli. The aim of the visit was to personally get to know Prof. Di Felice and the students of his database systems class, and to introduce them to PostgreSQL.<br />Unfortunately, we all know what happened afterwards.<br />Our initiative aims to help students gain practical skills and knowledge in installation
procedures, configuration and the usage of PostgreSQL.<br />This embraces also Italian PostgreSQL Users Group's objective for the
introduction of PostgreSQL in the Italian schools and universities.<br />The joint
agreement will take effect from 1 October 2009 and has a duration of 15
months. More information are in the <a href="http://blog.2ndquadrant.it/it/2009/06/2ndquadrant-e-universita-aquila.html">Italian press announcement</a>.<br /> Finally, I am also happy to restart my PlanetPostgreSQL.org activity with such great news for the whole PostgreSQL community!<br /><br />]]>

        <![CDATA[Flavia Marzano e Simone Martelli stanno organizzando un <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp">barcamp</a> molto interessante riguardante la condivisione del sapere e della conoscenza, dal titolo "<a href="http://barcamp.org/CXC">Condividere X (fare) Cultura</a>".<br />]]>
        <![CDATA[L'evento si terrà probabilmente a Prato il 26 giugno 2009 e sarà una
importante occasione per conoscere persone e fare networking su questo
argomento. Per quanto mi riguarda, sarà interessante parlare di
software a codice aperto (open-source) e sul riuso di soluzioni aperte.<br />Dopo il <a href="http://2007.pgday.org/">PostgreSQL Day Italiano 2007</a> e il <a href="http://2008.pgday.org/">PostgreSQL Day Europeo 2008</a>, Prato si ripropone nel contesto italiano come una città attiva sul lato <i>community</i> di software libero e open-source.<br />Nei prossimi giorni avremo sicuramente maggiori informazioni.<br />]]>

Gamera può aiutare sia sul lato tecnico - è in grado di individuare problemi sui documenti HTML appartenenti ai siti analizzati - che sul lato manageriale di una azienda o di una pubblica amministrazione che utilizza il web come veicolo principale di informazioni e servizi.</div><div>Come mai è nato? Innanzitutto la nostra esperienza nella gestione di siti web di grandi dimensioni ci ha portato alla conclusione che uno strumento che aiutasse nel controllo e nel monitoring dei siti web fosse necessario. Spesso infatti assistiamo a dei veri e propri <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">scempi</span> sui siti web di aziende, organizzazione e/o enti - anche di primo livello. Non solo in fase di progettazione e di primo rilascio di un sito o di un CMS, ma anche in fasi successive (un CMS infatti non rimuove totalmente i problemi di qualità e accessibilità di un sito web). Con Gamera, ogni piccolo problema viene portato all'attenzione di chi di dovere.</div><div>Una curiosità: il nome deriva da Gamera, la tartaruga gigante che era solita difendere la terra da mostri come Godzilla &amp; co.</div>]]>
