News from the depths: IT giants have started actively building their own underwater trunk networks

Posted on

We have long been accustomed to the fact that large IT companies engage not only in product releases and service provision, but also actively participate in the development of internet infrastructure.

If it's a reporting query on many rows in a table, it executes faster when utilizing multiple CPUs, and this has been possible in PostgreSQL since version 9.6. It took three years to implement the parallel query feature — the code had to be rewritten at various execution stages […]
