Why should you attend?
This course offers an in-depth exploration of PostgreSQL, a powerful open-source relational database system. It begins with an introduction to PostgreSQL's history and capabilities, highlighting its unique features compared to other databases like MySQL and Oracle. Participants will gain insights into the key use cases where PostgreSQL excels, setting the foundation for more advanced topics. The course delves into the system architecture of PostgreSQL, covering essential components such as processes, memory management, and client-server communication. Learners will acquire practical skills in installing PostgreSQL on various operating systems and managing services effectively. The curriculum also emphasizes creating and managing databases, including schema management and basic operations using tools like psql and pgAdmin. Security is a critical aspect of database administration, and this course covers role-based access control, user management, and securing connections with SSL/TLS. Backup and recovery basics are addressed through logical and physical backup techniques, ensuring data integrity and availability. Performance tuning is another focal point, with modules on memory parameters, query execution plans, indexing strategies, vacuuming, maintenance tasks, query optimization, monitoring, logging, replication setups for high availability, partitioning for performance enhancement, connection pooling strategies for resource optimization, advanced indexing techniques including full-text search capabilities. Finally, the course prepares participants for certification exams with mock tests and discussions on key topics. Real-world case studies provide hands-on experience in troubleshooting performance issues and optimizing queries in large-scale environments.
