This course explores the foundational aspects of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to embed artificial intelligence techniques within database systems. Key topics include similarity and semantic search utilising embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL querying, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will acquire the skills to install PgVector and PgAI, generate and load vector embeddings, create vector indexes, implement semantic search and RAG, and develop Text-to-SQL applications using LangChain with Python or JavaScript. Through demonstrations and hands-on practice, learners will reinforce their core concepts and practical abilities.

This hands-on course focuses on the practical aspects of performance tuning in PostgreSQL. Participants will learn to analyse query execution, optimise indexing, adjust memory and system parameters, and monitor workloads effectively. Real-world scenarios and live exercises demonstrate how to identify and resolve bottlenecks at both the database and system levels.

Effectively managing and developing PostgreSQL databases demands a thorough understanding of performance optimisation, database replication, and connection pooling. This course addresses server administration, SQL fundamentals, client interfaces, server-side programming, and database internals. Practical training empowers DBAs and developers to enhance query execution, oversee backups, establish monitoring systems, and construct resilient production-grade setups for enterprise-level PostgreSQL environments.

This course provides the essential knowledge required to install, configure, and manage PostgreSQL databases effectively. Participants will learn how to handle user security, perform backups and restores, manage logs, and tune basic parameters. Through practical exercises, learners will perform real-world administration tasks and prepare for advanced topics such as performance and replication.

This training is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects who wish to build a solid foundation in PostgreSQL from the ground up.

You will gain a comprehensive understanding of PostgreSQL architecture, installation procedures, database design principles, as well as best practices for backing up and recovering databases in PostgreSQL.

This training is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to master the tools and techniques required to implement backups, high availability, and database security in PostgreSQL.
You will also learn how to identify slow queries, monitor database performance, and tune PostgreSQL for optimal performance.

Achieving zero-downtime PostgreSQL deployments demands expert 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 training is designed for Database Administrators and Architects who wish to optimise PostgreSQL for enhanced performance. You will learn how to log slow workloads and identify potential bottlenecks in queries. The course also covers the most critical parameters that require tuning to achieve optimal performance.

In this instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (onsite or remote), participants will explore both fundamental and advanced aspects of PostgreSQL, including administration, performance tuning, advanced development, and replication. This is achieved through a series of practical, hands-on lab exercises covering setup, configuration, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Apply advanced administrative techniques to configure and manage a PostgreSQL server.
• Optimise databases and queries to achieve maximum performance.
• Replicate and scale a PostgreSQL server.

PostgresAI is a platform that enables database teams to clone, test, and optimise PostgreSQL environments using AI-driven automation.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at advanced-level DevOps professionals and database engineers who wish to implement PostgresAI at enterprise scale for database monitoring, cloning, and AI-driven optimisation.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Deploy and configure PostgresAI in enterprise environments.
• Integrate PostgresAI with CI/CD pipelines and PostgreSQL clusters.
• Leverage AI-driven insights for query optimisation and performance tuning.
• Implement governance, auditing, and data privacy controls for cloned environments.

Format of the Course
