Course description
This PostgreSQL Advanced Administration course covers database upgrades, database security, table partitioning, and both streaming replication and logical replication of PostgreSQL 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 databases.
Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.
Who will the Course Benefit?This PostgreSQL Advanced Administration course is designed for professional database administrators of PostgreSQL 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 databases who need to be able to successfully plan and implement the upgrade of a PostgreSQL database.
