This course delves into the core principles of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to embed artificial intelligence capabilities within database environments. Key topics include semantic search powered by embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL querying, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will master the installation of PgVector and PgAI, generate and import vector embeddings, establish vector indexes, and implement semantic search and RAG functionalities. Additionally, students will develop Text-to-SQL applications leveraging LangChain with Python or JavaScript. These concepts are reinforced through live demonstrations and practical exercises.

This practical course centres on the hands-on aspects of performance tuning in PostgreSQL. Participants will acquire skills in analysing query execution, optimising indexing strategies, adjusting 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 system levels.

Effectively managing and developing PostgreSQL databases demands a strong grasp of performance tuning, replication strategies, and connection pooling. This course delves into server administration, SQL essentials, client interfaces, server-side programming, and the inner workings of the database. Through practical training, DBAs and developers will learn to optimise query execution, manage backups, configure monitoring tools, and establish robust, production-ready configurations for enterprise PostgreSQL environments.

This module provides the foundational knowledge necessary to effectively install, configure, and manage PostgreSQL databases. It guides participants through essential tasks such as securing user access, executing backups and restores, managing logs, and tuning basic parameters. Through practical, hands-on activities, learners will perform real-world administration tasks, preparing them for advanced subjects like performance tuning and replication.

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

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of PostgreSQL architecture, installation procedures, database design principles, and the techniques required to perform database backup and recovery operations within PostgreSQL.

This course is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects aiming to master the tools and techniques required for implementing Backups, High Availability, and Database Security in PostgreSQL.
Participants will also acquire the skills to identify slow queries, monitor database performance, and optimise PostgreSQL for peak efficiency.

Enabling zero-downtime PostgreSQL deployments requires specialist knowledge of Streaming Replication and automated failover management. This course delves into synchronous and asynchronous replication, cascaded replication, transaction log archiving, base backups, and monitoring streaming configurations. You will learn to deploy pgpool-II for connection pooling, automate high availability setups, and ensure production-grade database reliability for critical enterprise environments supporting high-traffic business applications.

This course is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects aiming to optimise PostgreSQL database performance. Participants will learn how to capture slow query logs and identify potential bottlenecks within queries. The curriculum also addresses the critical configuration parameters that require tuning to achieve peak performance.

In this instructor-led live training Australia (onsite or remote), participants will gain insight into both general and advanced PostgreSQL aspects. The curriculum covers administration, performance tuning, advanced development, and replication, delivered through a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises involving setup, configuration, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.

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

• Use advanced administration techniques to configure and manage a PostgreSQL server.
• Optimize the database and queries for maximum performance.
• Replicate and scale a PostgreSQL server.

PostgresAI is a platform designed to empower database teams to clone, test, and optimise PostgreSQL environments through AI-driven automation.

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

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Deploying and configuring PostgresAI within enterprise environments.
• Integrating PostgresAI with CI/CD pipelines and PostgreSQL clusters.
• Leveraging AI-driven insights for query optimisation and performance tuning.
• Implementing governance, auditing, and data privacy controls for cloned environments.
