Fltkhs [1] was the best ever experience I've had while doing small/auxiliary GUI utilities. Now using NWG [2] for that (UI forms examples [3]) and it is so much less elegant and so much more verbose than Fltkhs. Resulting lean EXE

Chasing memory leaks in BCP [1] data load implementation in Babelfish [2]. Spotted unusually high RAM usage, decided to look deeper and got into a rabbit hole. Haven't had this fun of overnight debugging (of Postgres guts) for a long t

Transact-SQL support (both queries and stored procedures) for PostgreSQL is implemented in Babelfish extensions [1]. It is implemented from the ground up as a "pl/tsql" language for Postgres [2], without using SQL-to-SQL tran

DBeaver works surprisingly nicely with less popular DBs. I work with Babelfish for PostgreSQL [1], it supports connections with SQL Server client libs. Most GUI client tools (like SSMS) expect "real" SQL Server on the other end of

Feature set of Postgres on AWS in the article omits Babelfish feature. It is definitely worth mentioning, at least for some unfortunate people who are stuck with SQL Server, but would like to use Postgres as all others do. When you can use

Project author here, just noticed that someone submitted this on HN. Thanks for your comment, I didn't thought about this. I wonder what would be a proper way to cover "who is behind"? Perhaps will add some kind of note to th

Looks like this is just one of possible "non-default" extension allocators, that can be selected during libstdc++ compile time: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/memory.html#...
