Greeting for coming back, and where is PostgreSQL going

Hello,

Long time no see. I'm back.

Although you may not remember me, I was certainly here more than a year ago, submitting tiny patches for bug fixes and trivial functionalities, and reviewing/testing patches from others. That was a fruitful and fun time for me. Thank you a lot for helping me.

After that, I had to stay away from the community for some reason. Now, I'd be happy if I can contribute to PostgreSQL again. But please excuse me for my slow restart, as the blank period needs some rehabilitation.

Let me briefly introduce myself. I'm MauMau, this is a nickname at home. And I'm Takayuki Tsunakawa, a male database engineer who works for Fujitsu in Japan. I'm now able to participate in the community activity at work.

I've been visually impaired since birth, and now I'm almost blind (can only sense the light). I'm using screen reader software to use PCs and smartphones. As I'm using pgindent, I'm sure the source code style won't be bad. But I might overlook some styling problems like indentation in the documentation patches. I'd appreciate it if you could introduce a nice editor for editing SGML/XML documents.

I'm excited to join the great PostgreSQL community. I'm dreaming PostgreSQL will evolve from the current "most advanced open source database" to "most popular and advanced database". In that respect, I want to expand the PostgreSQL ecosystem (interoperability with other software), as well as adding new features. Let me consult you about how to expand the ecosystem in another thread soon.

Finally, I'm wondering what direction PostgreSQL is headed for. Especially, I'm curious about whether PostgreSQL will become a MPP database for OLTP and analytics by integrating with Postgres-XL/XC. I don't yet figure out which segment PostgreSQL should aim for, now that Hadoop family is prominent in analytics and MySQL is still more popular in Web apps. I'd like to know what community people are seeing in the future of PostgreSQL.

Regards
MauMau

This is a good surprise.

Glad to see you back.

I don't think you need to explain yourself. Matters of life happen all the time.

Cool to hear that as well. We are pretty close by... よろしくお願いいたします。

These days, there is a lot of discussion and activity to make Postgres
better at scaling out. There are discussions about backporting stuff
from XC/XL back to core, though that's a tough work. This thread is a
good summary of what is happening lately in this area:

Welcome back!

There are quite a few editors that handle SGML/XML well. In the open
source world the two most common are likely:

Emacs
This is what Practical PostgreSQL was written in
Bluefish
This is a GTK based editor that has some nice touches

There are others I am sure but those are the two I have experience with.

Sincerely,

JD

Re: Greeting for coming back, and where is PostgreSQL going

Thankyou, Michael, Nagayasu-san, Ishii-san, and Joshua. Your reply gave me
energy!

I'm relieved to know that community people use Emacs for editing SGML/XML.
My main editor on Linux is Emacs.

Yes, I'm using emacs too for sgml editing. This proves to be quick
handy at the end.
