03/12/2005 Archived Entry: "David Fetter on DBI-Link: March 22, 2005"

Hey, all you Perl Mongers,

I hope you've recovered from the abundant Thai food of last month's meeting.

For this month, long-time Perl Monger David Fetter will present DBI-Link, a PostgreSQL extension that enables "treating any data source you can reach with DBI as a PostgreSQL table." (Stop and think about that for a minute.) Dave is the author and lead maintainer.

I am working on lining up pizza sponsorship. RSVP to Quinn Weaver (qw@sf.pm.org) to be included. :) (Also, please include your name[s] so I can fast-track you past building security.)

Read on for location and time...

Date: Tuesday, March 22, 2005
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. After 7:00, these lots usually have plenty of spaces.

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.
