Applications Optimization in PostgreSQL

Category: PostgreSQL

Ability to write efficient SQL queries is the area of the intersection of Science and Art. Every single query is different and correct diagnosing the reasons of its long creation time requires the complex understanding of the system functioning. During the training Queries and applications optimization in PostgreSQL we focus on the full use of SQL language possibilities for creating complex reports. The course draws attention to the PostgreSQL system specifics, diagnostic tools and functionalities offered by the base, which allow to get the queries results faster.

The training is recommended to people, who work with PostgreSQL database and who want to learn how to recognise bottlenecks in communication with the database, isolate performance problems and improve their applications performance.

Our instructors have many years of experience with PostgreSQL, both as administrators and as programmers. One of our trainers is a PostgreSQL contributor and a regular speaker at the world’s largest conference on the topic.
