PDXPUG: September meeting

When: 7-9pm Thu Sep 18, 2014
Where: Iovation
Who: Jay Riddle
What: Using Postgresql to enable Google like Search

Jay's been experimenting with Pg's full text search capabilities. At our
next meeting, he'll cover the following:
* Brief intro on why Google like search capabilities are fun.
* Introduce Postgresql full text abilities. Discuss at a high level why a
full text index may be a bit heavier than a normal index.
* Look at possible solutions for use cases where the data you want to index
is spread across multiple columns and multiple tables.

Jay Riddle is a database administrator at Viewpoint software.

Our meeting will be held at Iovation, on the 32nd floor of the US Bancorp
Tower at 111 SW 5th (5th & Oak). It's right on the Green & Yellow Max
lines. Underground bike parking is available in the parking garage;
outdoors all around the block in the usual spots. No bikes in the office,
sorry!

Elevators open at 6:45 and building security closes access to the floor at
7:30.

The building is on the Green & Yellow Max lines. Underground bike parking
