Introduction to PostgreSQL

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

A high level overview of the PostgreSQL database

PostgreSQL, also called PostgreSQL, is one of the most popular SQL database management systems (DBMS) ever.

It is Open Source, free for personal and commercial use, and it has a long history that started in 1996, building on top of other software that dates back to the 1980’s.

PostgreSQL is a really complete and full-featured general purpose relational database.

It provides support for most of the SQL standard, and also builds on top of it its unique set of features, to provide us a great tool.

You can find the project homepage at https://www.postgresql.org.

We can interact with a PostgreSQL database using many different programming languages. Internally, being a relational database we’ll use SQL to insert, query and manipulate the data.

I am going to write a lot of PostgreSQL tutorials in the near future. I will link them here.

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
