This course explores the essential PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to integrate artificial intelligence techniques into database systems. Key topics include similarity and semantic search using embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL queries, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will learn how to install PgVector and PgAI, generate and load vector embeddings, create vector indexes, implement semantic search and RAG functionalities, and develop Text-to-SQL applications using LangChain with Python or JavaScript. Through demonstrations and hands-on practice, the course reinforces both core concepts and practical skills.

This practical course concentrates on the real-world application of performance tuning in PostgreSQL. Participants will acquire the skills to analyze query execution, optimize indexing strategies, configure memory and system parameters, and monitor workloads efficiently. Through real-world scenarios and live exercises, attendees will learn how to identify and resolve bottlenecks at both the database and system levels.

Effectively managing and developing PostgreSQL databases demands a profound understanding of performance tuning, database replication strategies, and connection pooling techniques. This program provides comprehensive coverage of server administration, core SQL principles, client-side interfaces, server-side scripting, and the internal architecture of databases. Through practical, hands-on training, database administrators and developers will learn to optimize query execution, manage backup procedures, configure monitoring systems, and establish robust, production-ready configurations tailored for enterprise-level PostgreSQL environments.

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

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of PostgreSQL's architecture, installation procedures, and design principles, alongside essential skills for performing database backups and recovery operations.

Ensuring zero-downtime PostgreSQL deployments requires expert knowledge of Streaming Replication and automated failover management. This course covers synchronous and asynchronous replication, cascaded replication, transaction log archiving, base backups, and monitoring streaming configurations. Learn to deploy pgpool-II for connection pooling, automated high availability setup, and production-grade database reliability for critical enterprise environments serving high-traffic business applications.

This course is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to enhance PostgreSQL performance. Participants will learn to identify slow queries and pinpoint potential bottlenecks, alongside mastering the key configuration parameters essential for achieving optimal system performance.

In this instructor-led, live training session (the Netherlands provided onsite or remotely), participants will explore the core and advanced features of PostgreSQL.
