Discover how to configure extensions, implement pgvector embeddings, and connect LLMs for instant insights. Optimize your queries and build intelligent systems through practical exercises in a live lab setting.

This 21-hour live training in Germany equips data engineers and DBAs to embed AI models into PostgreSQL. Learners will master the deployment of optimized architectures, the implementation of vector search, and the enforcement of strict governance, ensuring secure and high-performance enterprise-grade AI solutions.

This course explores the essential PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries that enable the integration of AI capabilities directly into database environments. Key areas include embedding-based similarity and semantic search, Text-to-SQL querying, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will master the installation of PgVector and PgAI, the generation and loading of vector embeddings, and the creation of efficient vector indexes. The curriculum also covers the implementation of semantic search and RAG, as well as the development of Text-to-SQL applications using LangChain with Python or JavaScript. Through practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises, learners will solidify their understanding of these core concepts and acquire valuable practical skills.

This course explores the essential PostgreSQL server extensions designed to incorporate AI capabilities into database environments, with a particular focus on similarity and semantic search utilizing embedding vectors. Participants will develop the skills to install PgVector, generate and load vector embeddings, establish vector indexes, and execute semantic queries. Through a blend of live demonstrations and practical exercises, learners will solidify their grasp of these core concepts and acquire hands-on proficiency.

This practical course is dedicated to the real-world application of performance optimization in PostgreSQL. Learners will acquire the skills to dissect query execution, refine indexing strategies, calibrate memory and system settings, and oversee workloads with precision. Through realistic case studies and live practical tasks, you will discover how to pinpoint and eliminate performance bottlenecks across both the database engine and the underlying system infrastructure.

This module delivers the foundational expertise required to effectively install, configure, and administer PostgreSQL databases. Key topics include securing user access, managing backup and recovery operations, handling logs, and adjusting basic parameters. Through applied practice, participants will execute realistic administrative tasks, preparing them for more complex areas such as performance optimisation and replication.
