This instructor-led, live training in Botswana (online or in-person) is aimed at database administrators and cloud architects who wish to migrate Oracle databases to Azure SQL or PostgreSQL.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Compare Azure SQL with PostgreSQL to choose the database that best meets business objectives and needs.
• Prepare databases to move definitions, data, and procedures from Oracle to AzureSQL or PostgreSQL database system.
• Perform post-migration steps to test, optimize, update, and maintain a migrated database.

This course explores the foundational aspects of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to integrate artificial intelligence techniques into database systems. Key topics include semantic and similarity searches using embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL querying, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will acquire skills to install PgVector and PgAI, generate and load vector embeddings, construct vector indexes, implement semantic search and RAG capabilities, and develop Text-to-SQL applications using LangChain with Python or JavaScript. Practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises will reinforce core concepts and technical proficiency.

This practical course centres on the hands-on aspects of performance tuning in PostgreSQL. Participants will acquire skills in analysing query execution, optimising indexing, fine-tuning memory and system parameters, and effectively monitoring workloads. Through real-world scenarios and live exercises, attendees will learn how to identify and resolve bottlenecks at both the database and system levels.

This programme covers the administration and performance optimisation of PostgreSQL databases. Participants will gain expertise in utilising specialised PostgreSQL (also known as Postgres) modules, including replication, connection pooling, and full-text searching.

This training programme is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to master PostgreSQL from the ground up.

Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of PostgreSQL architecture, installation procedures, design principles, and techniques for performing database backups and recoveries within the PostgreSQL environment.

This training programme is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects seeking to master the tools and techniques required for implementing Backups, High Availability, and Database Security within PostgreSQL.
Participants will also learn how to identify slow queries, monitor database performance, and tune PostgreSQL for optimal performance.

This course is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects aiming to master Streaming Replication within PostgreSQL. It demonstrates how pgpool-II facilitates automatic failover mechanisms to establish a robust and highly available PostgreSQL Database Cluster.

This programme is tailored for Database Administrators and Architects aiming to enhance PostgreSQL Database performance. Discover techniques to capture slow-running workloads and identify potential bottlenecks within queries. The course also addresses the critical parameters that require adjustment to achieve optimal efficiency.

In this instructor-led live training Botswana (onsite or remote), participants will explore the general and advanced aspects of PostgreSQL. The course covers administration, performance tuning, advanced development, and replication through a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises involving setup, configuration, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.
