Intro to 8.4 Slides Now Available

Today I gave my Intro to 8.4 talk for PostgreSQL East 2009. The slides covers a number of new features in PostgreSQL 8.4, using the Pagila sample database. The talk include quite a bit of back and forth discussion with attendees which was nice, but you should still be able to get something from the slides themselves. If you'd like to take a gander, slides are now available via Slideshare.
