Ah, Perl and databases: a perfect match.
This month, PostgreSQL guru Josh Berkus will regale us with the cool new features of PostgreSQL, including PL/Perl, which lets you write your database queries in Perl. The main focus will be on Postgres itself. If you're trying to choose a database, this talk should help; if you already use PostgreSQL, this should give you a deeper view.
This talk marks the Return of the Pizza. Level Acuity, a San Francisco-based provider of Perl staffing and projects, is sponsoring free pizza. Yay for them! The pizza will be served partway through the talk.
RSVP: If you're planning to come, mail Quinn Weaver
Also, let me know if you have any special dietary restrictions such that you don't eat pizza. I'm not making any promises, but I can at least try to accomodate you.
Date: Tuesday, January 27, 2004
Time: 8:00 p.m.
Place: Barclays Global Investors, 45 Fremont St.
Parking: There are several outdoor lots with cheap evening rates, all of them south of Market and within a few blocks of 45 Fremont. Look on Harrison and Fremont first. These lots usually have plenty of spaces after 7:00.
From BART: Get off at the Embarcadero station. Take the Beale St. exit. Heading away from the water on Market, come to Fremont. Turn left on Fremont; 45 Fremont is the big building halfway down the block.
From Caltrain: (Don't take Caltrain if you can avoid it. Trains run back at 10:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. only!) From the station, take the N Judah to the Embarcadero station, then follow the directions from BART.
