Navigating the Database Ecosystem in 2025

In 2025, the database ecosystem is more diverse and interconnected than ever before. From AI-assisted natural language queries that analyze your data to open table formats that make it easy to bridge systems, data infrastructure is moving towards openness, intelligence, and composability. Modern databases are no longer isolated systems; they are part of a broader ecosystem where interoperability is as important as performance.

Exploring why PostgreSQL made generated columns virtual

Generated columns have existed in PostgreSQL since version 12. The idea was to allow people to make calculations based on other columns in the table and store them. It makes your life easier by ensuring data accuracy and preventing unauthorized manual modifications. But why, after 6 versions, is PostgreSQL making generated columns virtual and also making this new way the default? This is an example of the types of questions we had when exploring and playing around with this new feature.
