Make the most of PostgreSQL using Python

Time: 15:10–16:00
Room: Delle Colonne
Level: Beginner
Python is no more a little-known language only used in niche environments: it has long been part of the backbone of the global infrastructure, a lingua franca in the scientific community, and a simple enough language to teach newcomers about programming.
Python has also been a good match for PostgreSQL. The most used library to connect the two is called "Psycopg" (for reasons long lost in the mist of history) and is a well-performing module written in Python with C where speed is needed. It can seamlessly bridge Python and PostgreSQL rich data models, and the current version, Psycopg 3, allows the use of modern Python features (async execution, static typing, string templates...) ensuring performance and safety.
In this talk we will look at some of the basic usage patterns and some more advanced techniques to integrate PostgreSQL data with Python code and bring your data to life.
