Last year we announced Skala-SR / Postgres Pro database machine with a hardware and software support for remote direct memory access (RDMA) as a key feature. The first appliances have been already installed at customer sites, and even with the first version customers got some constructions, that were impossible without RDMA and CPU offload (got with Mellanox networking). However, capabilities of this equipment are much wider, and this talk is dedicated to current works and prospective developments for this topic.

Developers are often challenged to deliver results that are hard to implement using simple SQL queries. Fortunately, complex SQL capabilities exist in the SQL standards — common table expressions and window functions.
SQL is a declarative language, meaning the user submits an SQL command and the database determines the optimal execution. Common Table Expressions (CTEs) allow queries to be more imperative, allowing looping and processing hierarchical structures that are normally associated only with imperative languages.
Normal SQL queries return rows where each row is independent of the other returned rows. SQL window functions allow queries to return computed columns based on values in other rows in the result set.
This tutorial will help developers use CTE queries in their applications and allow operations that normally could only be done in application code to be done via SQL queries. It also explains the many window function facilities and how they can be used to produce useful SQL query results.

It's not a secret for anyone that statistics can not be transferred with a major upgrade. For small and not heavily loaded databases this is not a problem, you can quickly collect new statistics. But we have databases with a volume of about 5TB and a load of about 100k rps, for which it became a big problem: taking off without statistics, the replicas could not even replay WAL. In my report I'll tell you what tricks we went to upgrade these databases with requirements of 100% read only availability, about what mistakes were made, and about how these errors were painfully corrected. The result of these errors was the extension called "pg_dirty_hands", in which we will collect various hacks, which can be last resort to repair data corruption.
