Open source databases are becoming an increasingly preferred option for organizations seeking high performance, lower cost alternatives to legacy databases. According to a report by Gartner Research, more than 70% of new in-house applications will be developed on an open-source DBMS.1
As organizations explore open source alternatives, PostgreSQL is an increasingly favored choice. Its popularity is reflected in DB-Engines.com naming Postgres “DBMS of the Year” for 2017. This surge is recent, yet PostgreSQL has been an active open source project since 1996. This makes it one of the oldest and most stable open source projects of its kind.
If your interest in Postgres is on the rise as well, and you’d like to increase your Postgres skills, EnterpriseDB just announced that it will be offering a training course this coming June titled “Comprehensive PostgreSQL Administration”. This course will be presented in a convenient, live online format and is designed to teach the essential skills required for PostgreSQL DBAs to be successful. The five-day course starts on July 9.
The course will cover PostgreSQL database architecture and core administrative tasks including configuration, maintenance, monitoring, backups, recovery, and moving data. Advanced topics are also covered including replication to safeguard data, clustering for high availability, partitioning for performance and maintainability, and security for privacy and protection.
This course will help DBAs and IT Professionals responsible for administration and maintenance of PostgreSQL increase their proficiency and learn best practices. And those new to PostgreSQL will benefit as well. Only basic experience in database administration is required to participate and no prior knowledge of PostgreSQL is necessary.
Upon course completion, participants will be prepared to manage large, highly available databases and their security requirements with confidence. This course also includes one free attempt at the PostgreSQL Associate Certification exam, a $200 value.
