This course introduces the core concepts of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to incorporate artificial intelligence into database systems. Key topics include semantic and similarity search using embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL querying, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will acquire skills in installing PgVector and PgAI, generating and loading vector embeddings, creating vector indexes, and implementing semantic search and RAG functionalities. Additionally, the curriculum covers building Text-to-SQL applications with LangChain using Python or JavaScript. Through demonstrations and practical exercises, learners will reinforce both theoretical knowledge and technical proficiency.

This practical course centres on the real-world aspects of tuning performance in PostgreSQL. Participants will gain skills in analysing query execution, optimising indexing, tweaking memory and system settings, and monitoring workloads efficiently. Through real-life scenarios and hands-on exercises, learners will see how to pinpoint and fix bottlenecks at both the database and system levels.

Successfully managing and developing PostgreSQL databases demands profound expertise in performance optimization, database replication, and connection pooling. This course provides comprehensive coverage of server administration, core SQL concepts, client interfaces, server-side programming, and database internals. Through practical, hands-on training, Database Administrators (DBAs) and developers will learn to optimize query execution, manage backups, configure monitoring systems, and establish robust, production-ready configurations tailored for enterprise-grade PostgreSQL environments.

This course delivers the foundational skills needed to deploy, configure, and oversee PostgreSQL databases with confidence. Participants will gain proficiency in securing user access, executing robust backup and restoration strategies, overseeing log management, and optimizing core parameters. Through hands-on exercises, learners will tackle practical administration scenarios while building a strong base for exploring advanced concepts like high performance and data replication.

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

Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of PostgreSQL architecture, installation procedures, design principles, and best practices for performing database backups and recovery.

This course is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to master the tools and techniques required to implement Backups, High Availability, and Database Security within PostgreSQL.
Participants will also gain skills in identifying slow queries, monitoring database performance, and tuning PostgreSQL for optimal efficiency.

Ensuring zero-downtime PostgreSQL deployments requires mastery of Streaming Replication and automated failover management. This course explores synchronous and asynchronous replication, cascaded replication, transaction log archiving, base backups, and the monitoring of streaming configurations. You will learn to deploy pgpool-II for connection pooling, establish automated high availability setups, and achieve production-grade database reliability for critical enterprise environments that support high-traffic business applications.

This programme is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects aiming to optimise PostgreSQL databases for peak performance. Participants will learn how to log slow-running workloads and identify potential bottlenecks within queries. The course also explores the critical parameters that require tuning to achieve optimal database efficiency.
