The Magic of MVCC - Greg Sabino Mullane

Learn how MVCC really works, why it's the best thing since sliced bread for concurrent read/write activity, and why it blows the locking approach out of the water. We'll focus on the way MVCC is implemented in Postgres, but the underlying concepts apply to all MVCC-based databases.

For users and developers.

Greg Sabino Mullane is a noted contributor to Postgres.
