Recursive CTEs: SQL’s Hidden Graph Traversal Engine
Unlock the power of SQL for graph-like data manipulation with Recursive Common Table Expressions (CTEs). This practical guide reveals how CTEs function as SQL’s hidden engine for traversing hierarchies, identifying routes, and detecting cycles—capabilities often overlooked. Discover how to calculate degrees of separation and efficiently analyze complex relational structures.

Presentation: Postgres for Production Agents: Your Relational Foundation for Enterprise AI
Scale your AI features with a robust relational foundation. Join Gwen Shapira to discover how teams are leveraging PostgreSQL for mission-critical applications, delivering deterministic and semantic context to Large Language Models. Learn to harness Postgres's multi-modal capabilities—including JSONB parsing and HNSW vector indexing—and explore strategies for vector quantization (achieving up to 4x query speed improvements) and agentic memory management.
