Course Description

atabase structure design? It's here. Query tuning and optimization? You'll master it. Complex queries? Yes indeed!
This is the only course online that will teach you how to design a database, store complex data, optimize your queries, everything that is needed for operating a production, scalable database!
Every app in the world, whether it is a mobile app built with Flutter, a web app constructed with React, or a plain HTMLpage, needs to store information in a database. Although there are many different databases you can use, PostgreSQL has been a number-one pick for decades, offering scalable performance, rock-solid uptime, and flexible design systems. This course will teach you everything you need to know about PostgreSQL to use it on your next big project!
Don't know anything about databases at all? No problem. We begin with an overview of SQL, the language used to interact with PostgreSQL. Through an incredible number of exercises, you'll get practical, hands on experience working with realistic datasets. You will understand how to store, fetch, and update information with a series of powerful commands. After gaining experience with elementary operations, you will move on to understanding database design patterns, offering multiple ways to structure your database for efficient data modeling. You'll see many different scenarios with different types of data, and understand the pros and cons to several approaches.
This course is packed with practice exercises and quizzes. You'll get immediate practice on all of the different topics and features that you learn! In addition, you'll understand exactly where to use each of these features in real and practical projects.
Besides getting practical hands-on experience, you'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how PostgreSQLworks internally. We'll dive into raw data files, investigating how PostgreSQLstores information on your hard drive bit by bit. This knowledge is invaluable when it comes time to start tuning your queries for performance. By having a natural instinct of how PostgreSQL works, you can plan on being able to get every last bit of performance out of your database.
Here is a partial list of some of the topics that are covered in this course:
Apply powerful SQLcommands to store, update, and retrieve informationBuild relationships between records using foreign keys between tablesUnderstand PostgreSQL's numerous data types, and when to use eachAssemble reports of business data by using aggregation pipelinesWork with millions of records to simulate real production queriesExercise your query logic skills through the use of sets and sorting operatorsCompose queries out of smaller reusable units using subqueriesUse different design patterns to efficiently model your dataSee how to divide database objects into different schemas to maintain them more easilyValidate your data using simple 'check' rulesConstruct perfect designs for common features such as 'like', 'follow', and 'tag' systemsSpeed up your queries with indexes - you'll see exactly how they work behind the scenes!
Dive into some of the most complex queries around with recursive common table expressionsDeal with concurrency issues easily by applying transactionsI made this course to be the perfect resource for engineers just getting started with their first database. Master the database itself, and see how to apply it with real designs. Sign up today and master PostgreSQL!
Who this course is for:
Any developers looking to understand databasesApplication engineers seeking to expand their backend skillset

Retired scientist. Did a DBMS course in the 1980s but never really used it. So far this is the easy stuff.

Great course , highly wait for your nestjs complete big project course with api documentation with swagger.

By Steve Albers on 12/27/2020

Really good course. Great introduction to the topic.
I think the example writing a bunch of node code to generate schemas for testing is...a little non-standard/questionable as a good testing approach and gets away from what the course is otherwise focuses on. But that aside the overall course taught me a lot & was definitely worth the investment.

By Houa on 11/16/2020

Stephen always provides the best real-life scenarios to think through and the solutions for them. This alone is worth the money in this course!!

By Elvira Bozileva on 12/27/2020

Great course! I learned much more than I came here for. Stephen skims through the syntax (something you can pick up on your own) and focuses on things that are actually important - practical implementation with potential pitfalls. Definitely worth the time!

By Richard Minardi on 11/5/2020

Yeah -- This is amazing so far. Stephen's React courses are great and I bought this without hesitation. I bought another SQL course (the Zero to Mastery one) and the SQL client used in that course was annoying to use (Valentina DB) and it's hard to code along on a laptop with a small screen. Stephen's courses are great for coding on a small laptop screen. I love how this course just jumps in and you're writing code. The other course has all this preamble and Grider's feels like we're already hitting the road.

Thank you!!

Just a great course I mean all Stephen's courses are a great. He put a lot of effort to make his courses ....I would to thank him for such wonderful job

The voice and the explanations are one of the clearest I have ever watched in Udemy.

Stephen Grider the name you can trust, As usual one of the best course outside on SQL.

By Vadym Feskin on 12/20/2020

Enjoy the level detail the instructor provides, as well as the way he shows the process with data in excel. This really helps to visualize what's going.

Sehr gute Prsentation. Die beste, die ich bisher in allen Udemy-Kursen erlebt habe. Klar und deutlich erklrt. Perfekter Kurs zu Postgresql.
