This practical course focuses on the hands-on aspects of performance tuning within PostgreSQL. Participants will gain skills in analysing query execution, optimising indexing strategies, configuring memory and system parameters, and effectively monitoring workloads. Through real-world scenarios and live exercises, attendees will learn how to identify and resolve bottlenecks at both the database and infrastructure levels.

Effectively managing and developing PostgreSQL databases demands a thorough understanding of performance optimisation, database replication, and connection pooling. This course provides comprehensive coverage of server administration, SQL fundamentals, client interfaces, server-side programming, and database internals. Through practical, hands-on training, database administrators and developers will gain the skills to optimise query execution, manage backups, configure monitoring systems, and establish robust, production-grade configurations for enterprise-level PostgreSQL environments.

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

You will gain insights into PostgreSQL architecture, installation procedures, database design principles, and techniques for performing effective backups and recoveries.

This training is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects aiming to master the tools and methodologies for implementing backups, high availability, and database security within PostgreSQL.
You will also gain insights into identifying slow queries, monitoring database performance, and tuning PostgreSQL for optimal speed.

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

This course is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to optimise PostgreSQL databases for peak performance. You will learn techniques for logging slow-running workloads and identifying potential bottlenecks within queries. The curriculum also addresses the critical configuration parameters that must be adjusted to ensure optimal performance.

In this instructor-led, live training in South Africa (onsite or remote), participants will explore both fundamental and advanced PostgreSQL concepts. The curriculum covers administration, performance tuning, advanced development techniques, and replication. Attendees will engage in a series of practical, hands-on lab exercises that guide them through setup, configuration, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Employ advanced administrative techniques to configure and manage a PostgreSQL server.
• Enhance database and query performance to achieve optimal efficiency.
• Implement replication strategies and scale a PostgreSQL server.
