Author Information
Simon Riggs is CTO of 2ndQuadrant and an active PostgreSQL committer. He has contributed to open source PostgreSQL as a major developer for more than 10 years, having written and designed many new features in every release over that period. Feature credits include replication, performance, business intelligence, management, and security. Under his guidance, 2ndQuadrant is now the leading developer of open source PostgreSQL and a Platinum Sponsor of the PostgreSQL project, serving hundreds of clients in the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. Simon is a frequent speaker at many conferences and is well known for his talks on PostgreSQL futures and different aspects of replication. He has also worked with many different databases as a developer, architect, data analyst, and designer with companies across the US and Europe for nearly 30 years. Hannu Krosing was a PostgreSQL user before it was rewritten to use SQL as its main query language in 1995. So, he has both the historic perspective of its development and almost 20 years of experience using it for solving various real-life problems. Hannu was the first Database Administrator and Database Architect at Skype, where he invented the sharding language PL/Proxy that allows scaling the user database to work with billions of users. Since leaving Skype at the end of 2006 about a year after it was bought up by eBay Hannu has been working as a PostgreSQL consultant with 2ndQuadrant, the premier PostgreSQL consultancy with global reach and local presence in most of the world. Hannu has co-authored another Packt Publishing book, PostgreSQL 9 Administration Cookbook, together with one of the main PostgreSQL developers, Simon Riggs.
