Products that do what I made pgdbtemplate to cut PostgreSQL test time by 1.5x using templates does

Tired of your Go tests being slowed down by repetitive PostgreSQL database setup? I built pgdbtemplate to solve exactly that. It uses PostgreSQL's native template databases to create fully migrated test databases in milliseconds instead of seconds. The problem: Traditional test setup runs all your migrations for every single test. With a complex schema, this wastes minutes in every test run. The solution: Create one "golden" template database. Every test gets its own isolated copy instantly via CREATE DATABASE ... TEMPLATE. Benchmarks don't lie: - 1.5x faster for complex schemas (5+ tables)…

I Made New Golang Database Migration Tool▲6
Hello HN, I've just released a new migration tool for Go that mimics the functionality of Ruby on Rails migrations. It's designed to help Go developers manage database schema changes with ease. This allows you several benefits: - Write type-safe migrations - Auto down of migrations whenever it's possible - Easy backfill even with business logic because it's Go code - Painless integration with existing schema - sql.DB compatible and driver agnostic (it uses your driver) I have a pretty complete API to manage Postgres schema and I am working on the SQLite one (a little more complicated due to…

uplpgsql – PL/pgSQL compiled to native code▲10
uplpgsql compiles PL/pgSQL to native code. It took over twenty years to get here, but here it is. On July 19, 2005, I demoed my optimizing PL/SQL compiler to Andy Astor, Denis Lussier, and Jim Mlodgenski at EnterpriseDB; PL/SQL packages, procedures, and functions ran on Postgres at native speed, not interpreted. While they didn't acquire it, they brought me on as a founding engineer focused on Oracle Database compatibility and performance. Then, on November 20, 2014, long after we'd both left, Denis suggested I make it a universal PL compiler that didn't care which dialect it…
