  • This tutorial is focused on teaching PostgreSQL to professionals who are already experienced with Oracle or MySQL or SQL Server. Relational databases share a lot of similar concepts. You may find it easier when the concepts of PostgreSQL are related with Oracle/MySQL. Thus, I would start with PostgreSQL Architecture for Oracle/MySQL DBAs.

  • As we discuss from basics, even a beginner could adapt the concepts easily. It starts with an overview of the PostgreSQL architecture and a hands-on lab, helping the audience apply the concepts presented, starting with a simple and quick installation of PostgreSQL and going all the way to setup and maintain a standby (replica). By the end of this tutorial, attendees will have a good understanding of how PostgreSQL works and feel confident enough about it.

  • Following topics are covered in this tutorial.

    • 1. Brief history of PostgreSQL and its features
    • 2. PostgreSQL Architecture for MySQL/Oracle DBAs and beginners.
    • 3. Installation of PostgreSQL
    • 4. Creating/Start/Stop a PostgreSQL Cluster and the components of a Data Directory
    • 5. PostgreSQL parameters/settings you need to know
    • 6. PostgreSQL User Management
    • 7. MVCC in PostgreSQL
    • 8. VACUUM and Transaction ID Wraparound in PostgreSQL
    • 9. Types of Indexes
    • 10. EXPLAIN in PostgreSQL
    • 11. Logical and Physical Backups
    • 12. Types of Replication in PostgreSQL
    • 13. Streaming replication and PITR (Point-in-time-recovery)
