Leverage the power of PostgreSQL 11 to build powerful database and data warehousing applications Key Features Monitor, secure, and fine-tune your PostgreSQL 11 database Learn client-side and server-side programming using SQL and PL/pgSQL Discover tips on implementing efficient database solutions Book DescriptionPostgreSQL is one of the most popular open source database management systems in the world, and it supports advanced features included in SQL standards. This book will familiarize you with the latest features in PostgreSQL 11, and get you up and running with building efficient PostgreSQL database solutions from scratch. Learning PostgreSQL, 11 begins by covering the concepts of relational databases and their core principles. You'll explore the Data Definition Language (DDL) and commonly used DDL commands supported by ANSI SQL. You'll also learn how to create tables, define integrity constraints, build indexes, and set up views and other schema objects. As you advance, you'll come to understand Data Manipulation Language (DML) and server-side programming capabilities using PL/pgSQL, giving you a robust background to develop, tune, test, and troubleshoot your database application. The book will guide you in exploring NoSQL capabilities and connecting to your database to manipulate data objects. You'll get to grips with using data warehousing in analytical solutions and reports, and scaling the database for high availability and performance. By the end of this book, you'll have gained a thorough understanding of PostgreSQL 11 and developed the necessary skills to build efficient database solutions. What you will learn Understand the basics of relational databases, relational algebra, and data modeling Install a PostgreSQL server, create a database, and implement your data model Create tables and views, define indexes and stored procedures, and implement triggers Make use of advanced data types such as Arrays, hstore, and JSONB Connect your Python applications to PostgreSQL and work with data efficiently Identify bottlenecks to enhance reliability and performance of database applications Who this book is forThis book is for you if you're interested in learning about PostgreSQL from scratch. Those looking to build solid database or data warehousing applications or wanting to get up to speed with the latest features of PostgreSQL 11 will also find this book useful. No prior knowledge of database programming or administration is required to get started.

Create, develop and manage relational databases in real world applications using PostgreSQL About This Book * Learn about the PostgreSQL development life cycle including its testing and refactoring * Build productive database solutions and use them in Java applications * A comprehensive guide to learn about SQL, PostgreSQL procedural language and PL/pgSQL Who This Book Is For If you are a student, database developer or an administrator, interested in developing and maintaining a PostgreSQL database, then this book is for you. No knowledge of database programming or administration is necessary. What You Will Learn * Learn concepts of data modelling and relation algebra * Install and set up PostgreSQL database server and client software * Implement data structures in PostgreSQL * Manipulate data in the database using SQL * Implement data processing logic in the database with stored functions, triggers and views * Test database solutions and assess the performance * Integrate database with Java applications * Detailed knowledge of the main PostgreSQL building objects, most used extensions * Practice database development life cycle including analysis, modelling, (documentation), testing, bug fixes and refactoring In Detail PostgreSQL is one of the most powerful and easy to use database management systems. It has strong support from the community and is being actively developed with a new release every year. PostgreSQL supports the most advanced features included in SQL standards. Also it provides NoSQL capabilities, and very rich data types and extensions. All that makes PostgreSQL a very attractive solution in various kinds of software systems. The book starts with the introduction of relational databases with PostegreSQL. It then moves on to covering data definition language (DDL) with emphasis on PostgreSQL and common DDL commands supported by ANSI SQL. You will then learn the data manipulation language (DML), and advanced topics like locking and multi version concurrency control (MVCC). This will give you a very robust background to tune and troubleshoot your application. The book then covers the implementation of data models in the database such as creating tables, setting up integrity constraints, building indexes, defining views and other schema objects. Next, it will give you an overview about the NoSQL capabilities of PostgreSQL along with Hstore, XML, Json and arrays. Finally by the end of the book, you'll learn to use the JDBC driver and manipulate data objects in the Hibernate framework.
