PostgreSQL is an open-source database server with low maintenance, low cost of ownership and an important role in production environments. After an introduction and history, we dive into the database with a realistic scenario. First part: focus on data manipulation language, especially queries. PostgreSQL fully supports the latest SQL ISO standard. The second section covers data definition language, including the creation of objects such as tables, views, materialized views, sequences, and indexes. We also demonstrate table inheritance and table partitioning. The latest modules review the PostgreSQL implementation of integrity constraints and provide tips on transactions, locking and competition management.

Anyone who needs to open or develop a PostgreSQL database, such as analysts or even technical designers, database administrators and developers, client application developers, and Business Intelligence professionals.
