It has been a while since last time I blogged about any real-life mysteries I resolved. Here is one which I am really happy about, because it took a while and it was not obvious. Before that, I didn't know how to read WAL files, and now I do!

I won't be surprised if nobody in my professional network knows what ADBIS is. But for me, this is a very significant and special event because I witnessed its inception and participated in the first four conferences of this series. In 1993, I just sat there and listened, pretending I understood something. In 1994, I had a chance to give a "short presentation," which was supposed to be something like lightning talks nowadays: one slide, five minutes of talk.
