PostgreSQL®

Workflow Products has extensive experience in PostgreSQL consulting.



Workflow Products, LLC can build you a feature rich, low cost database using PostgreSQL. All Workflow Products programmers have PostgreSQL experience.


We're aware that PostgreSQL consultants can vary greatly in expertise. We have an extensive catalog of existing solutions that can be made available for demonstration, and many of our existing customers are available for reference purposes. Typically we start out with a very small project, a day at most. This way you can see what it's like to work with us out before you make a decision about who to use for your project.


Workflow Products offers PostgreSQL-based applications for desktop, mobile and web. We'd love to hear about your project.


Do you have a PostgreSQL database already? We know PostgreSQL is not a perfect fit for every company or database. If you're considering a different database vendor we can help you evaluate your choices. For more information about evaluating database vendors, call us at (817) 503-9545.



High Performance PostgreSQL Applications

We have experience building C applications using libpq, the native PostgreSQL library for interfacing with PostgreSQL databases. Libpq offers the fastest data transfer possible between PostgreSQL and any application. If you're experiencing a performance issue and tuning the database isn't helping, it may be how you're accessing PostgreSQL.


We've written several software applications over the years that use libpq. Workflow Products' open source programs Postage and Envelope are both C applications utilizing libpq. If you have a speed critical application and need expert libpq experience, we can help.



PostgreSQL Database Troubleshooting

If you already have a PostgreSQL database that is behaving badly, running too slowly or not working the way you would like then you can use Workflow Products to help fix problems or optimize your queries. We don't require a contract or a long term relationship. We can cover for your regular consultant's vacation or work with any other IT company to make sure you are covered.



PostgreSQL Security Consulting And Auditing

PostgreSQL is a secure database by design. If you'd like third party verification of your PostgreSQL security model, application architecture or server configuration, we can help. We have experience in auditing PostgreSQL database security as well as training employees and consultants in best practices. We can consult on your project as a developer, trainer or auditor. If your project is in the planning stage we can review your specifications and make recommendations to enhance security.



PostgreSQL Performance Tuning

Our employees have extensive database performance tuning experience including Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and other database vendors large and small. If you need a performance fix and your current consultant is stuck on a hard problem we'd be happy to consult on a one-time or as needed basis.


Sometimes you need to convert a PL/PGSQL function to a shared object or re-design your table structure to solve a difficult problem. We have extensive experience in PostgreSQL performance tuning, writing PostgreSQL shared objects in C and designing high performance database schemas. If you're not sure where to begin to get the performance you need then give us a call and we'll ask the right questions to help you narrow down your performance issue.



Microsoft Access To PostgreSQL Conversion

Do you need help converting your current Microsoft Access database to a Microsoft Access application? We can help. We have extensive experience upgrading Microsoft Access databases to PostgreSQL-backed database applications. For more information, see our white paper Important Topics In Software Strategy (PDF).



PostgreSQL Support

Are you new to PostgreSQL or need help with a particular problem? We provide PostgreSQL phone and email support on demand. We bill to the minute so there's never a problem that's too small to be worth a call. When available we provide PostgreSQL code out of our internal library for free to clients. We can help you design your table structure or solve a complex problem you may be stuck on. We're always happy to help you build or design your own solution and we never discriminate against local competitors. We want all PostgreSQL consultants to be the best they can possibly be.



PostgreSQL Training And Coaching

Workflow Products offers expensive and difficult PostgreSQL training and coaching.



Workflow Products offers on-site corporate one day and three day intensive PostgreSQL training classes for software engineers that need to acquire proficiency in PostgreSQL quickly. Depending on length, software engineers will learn a wide array of best practices. Our PostgreSQL training can be tailored for software engineers that are familiar with a different database platform.


If you think you may be interested in learning PostgreSQL or becoming an independent software consultant offering PostgreSQL-based solutions to clients, give us a call at (817) 503-9545. We have a coaching program that can get you to your first sale fast.
