PostgreSQL Server Administration Training Course

This course explores the foundational aspects of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to incorporate artificial intelligence capabilities into database systems. Key topics include similarity and semantic search using embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL querying, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will learn how to install PgVector and PgAI, generate and load vector embeddings, build vector indexes, implement semantic search and RAG workflows, and develop Text-to-SQL applications utilizing LangChain with Python or JavaScript. Through demonstrations and hands-on exercises, the core concepts and practical skills are reinforced.

This program explores the essential PostgreSQL server extensions that enable the integration of artificial intelligence into database architectures, with a specific focus on similarity and semantic search driven by embedding vectors. Participants will develop the skills necessary to install PgVector, generate and manage vector embeddings, construct optimized vector indexes, and execute semantic search queries. Through a combination of live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, learners will solidify their understanding of these core concepts and enhance their practical application abilities.

This practical course emphasizes the hands-on techniques for tuning PostgreSQL performance. Participants will gain skills in analyzing query execution, optimizing indexing strategies, configuring memory and system settings, and effectively monitoring workloads. Through real-world scenarios and live exercises, attendees will learn to identify and resolve bottlenecks at both the database and system levels.

In this instructor-led live training in Vietnam (onsite or remote), participants will explore both general and advanced aspects of PostgreSQL. This includes administration, performance tuning, advanced development techniques, and replication. Through a series of hands-on lab exercises, learners will navigate setup, configuration, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting processes.

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

• Utilize advanced administration techniques to configure and manage a PostgreSQL server.
• Optimize databases and queries to achieve maximum performance.
• Implement replication and scaling strategies for PostgreSQL servers.

This course offers a comprehensive exploration of replication, high availability, and cluster management within PostgreSQL. Participants will construct and oversee multi-node environments, set up automated failover mechanisms, and investigate load balancing and connection pooling options. The curriculum incorporates hands-on replication labs and disaster recovery simulations.

This instructor-led live training in Vietnam (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level developers and administrators aiming to utilize the newest features and improvements in PostgreSQL 16.

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

• Understanding the architecture and components of PostgreSQL 16.
• Utilizing advanced SQL features and PostgreSQL extensions.
• Implementing security best practices and access controls.
• Performing database administration tasks, including backup, recovery, and monitoring.
• Optimizing database performance through tuning and indexing strategies.
• Using PostgreSQL's built-in tools for high availability and replication.
• Integrating PostgreSQL with modern application development frameworks.
