This module explores how to monitor and analyze PostgreSQL databases using system statistics and log files. Learners will discover how to inspect database activity, evaluate table and index performance, and configure effective logging for troubleshooting and optimization. By the end, you'll be equipped to maintain database health and diagnose issues using PostgreSQL's built-in tools.

This module explores advanced techniques for improving PostgreSQL query performance, including reading and interpreting execution plans, optimizing joins, and leveraging parallelism. Learners will gain practical skills in diagnosing performance bottlenecks, adjusting system parameters, and applying partitioning strategies to large datasets.

This module explores the creation and optimization of stored procedures in PostgreSQL, including language options, flow control, variable scope, and advanced data handling techniques. Learners will gain practical skills in writing efficient procedures using PL/pgSQL, PL/Python, and other supported languages, while addressing challenges such as quoting, security, and large data sets.

This module explores essential PostgreSQL security practices, including configuring authentication, managing user roles, and setting permissions at various levels. Learners will gain hands-on experience with tools like pg_hba.conf, and learn to implement security controls from network access to row-level restrictions. By the end, you'll be able to inspect, modify, and audit security settings to protect your PostgreSQL databases.
