PostgreSQL is a relational database that implements the ACID principles. However, to implement ACID principles while preserving high performance is a great technical challenge! In this talk we will discuss why MVCC, WAL and many optimizations are an integral part of high-performance implementation of the ACID. We will also describe the specifics of how these mechanisms are implemented in PostgreSQL and how it affects the features that are visible to the user.
