New Presentation

Wednesday, January 28, 2026

I just gave a new presentation at Prague PostgreSQL Developer Day titled What's Missing in Postgres? It's an unusual talk because it explains the missing features of Postgres, and why. One thing I learned in writing the talk is that the majority of our missing features are performance-related, rather than functionality-related. I took many questions:

• some pointed out that extensions supply much of this missing functionality
• some supported the lack of features because the features are either unnecessary or harmful
• some features are in-progress (slide 31)

Thanks to Melanie Plageman for the idea of this talk.
