This course explores the core concepts of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to incorporate artificial intelligence techniques into database architectures. Key topics include similarity and semantic search utilizing embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL query capabilities, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will acquire the skills necessary to install PgVector and PgAI, generate and ingest vector embeddings, construct vector indexes, and implement semantic search alongside RAG solutions. Additionally, attendees will develop Text-to-SQL applications leveraging LangChain with either Python or JavaScript. These learning experiences are solidified through live demonstrations and practical exercises that reinforce both theoretical understanding and technical proficiency.

This practical course emphasises the hands-on approach to performance tuning within PostgreSQL. Participants will gain the skills to analyse query execution, refine indexing strategies, tweak memory and system settings, and effectively monitor workloads. Through real-world scenarios and live exercises, learners will discover how to pinpoint and resolve bottlenecks at both the database and system levels.

Effective management and development of PostgreSQL databases demand a profound understanding of performance tuning, database replication strategies, and connection pooling techniques. This course encompasses server administration, core SQL principles, client-side interfaces, server-side programming, and the internal architecture of the database. Through practical, hands-on training, Database Administrators and developers will learn to optimize query execution, manage backup procedures, set up monitoring systems, and establish robust, production-ready configurations tailored for enterprise-level PostgreSQL environments.

This training is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to master PostgreSQL from the ground up.

Participants will gain insights into PostgreSQL architecture, installation procedures, database design, as well as the methods for performing backup and recovery operations within PostgreSQL.

This training program is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to master the tools and techniques required to implement effective backups, high availability, and database security within PostgreSQL.
Participants will also acquire the skills necessary to identify slow queries, monitor database performance, and optimize PostgreSQL settings for enhanced efficiency.

Ensuring zero-downtime PostgreSQL deployments requires expert handling of Streaming Replication and automated failover management. This course delves into synchronous and asynchronous replication, cascaded replication, transaction log archiving, base backups, and monitoring streaming configurations. Participants will learn to deploy pgpool-II for connection pooling, set up automated high availability, and achieve production-grade database reliability for critical enterprise environments supporting high-traffic business applications.

Designed for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to optimize PostgreSQL performance, this training demonstrates how to log slow workloads and identify potential query bottlenecks. It also addresses the critical parameters that require tuning to achieve optimal efficiency.
