PostgreSQL is a popular relational database management system. This course offers many features—from fundamental commands to advanced functionalities within PostgreSQL. 

You will learn simple queries, data definition, and data manipulation through SQL. You’ll be taught how to work with complex data types, regular expressions, views, indexing, and stored procedures. You’ll also learn about transaction control, administration, security, replication, and performance tuning. Following that, you’ll gain insight into the methods for backup, restore, and recovery. You’ll then learn about upgrading and migration from legacy systems. There’s also a mini project and a thorough assessment to enhance your learning experience and confidence.

This course is an ideal choice for developers who want to upgrade their database management skills with hands-on experience. Starting from the basic concepts, this course is an excellent option for those who want to switch to the field of databases.

File system-level backups copy the entire database cluster, including configuration files, while database-level backups only include the database objects and data.

File system-level backups can be performed while the database server is running, while database-level backups require the server to be shut down.

File system-level backups generate logical backups in the form of SQL scripts, while database-level backups create a copy of the PostgreSQL data directory.

File system-level backups are suitable for performing incremental backups and selective restores, while database-level backups provide a complete snapshot of the database cluster.
