Refine query performance and construct intelligent systems within an immersive hands-on live-lab environment.

This 21-hour instructor-led training in the UAE assists data engineers and DBAs in integrating AI models into PostgreSQL. Participants will learn to deploy optimized architectures, implement vector search, and enforce rigorous governance, ensuring secure and high-performance enterprise-grade AI solutions.

This course explores the foundational aspects of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to incorporate artificial intelligence into database environments. Key topics include semantic and similarity search using embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL query generation, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will master the installation of PgVector and PgAI, learn to generate and load vector embeddings, build vector indexes, and implement semantic search and RAG solutions. Additionally, the curriculum covers developing Text-to-SQL applications using LangChain with Python or JavaScript. Through demonstrations and practical exercises, learners reinforce essential concepts and gain hands-on proficiency.

This course explores the foundational aspects of PostgreSQL server extensions designed to embed AI capabilities into database environments. Key topics include similarity and semantic search utilizing embedding vectors. Learners will gain practical skills in installing PgVector, generating and ingesting vector embeddings, constructing vector indexes, and executing semantic queries. Through a blend of demonstrations and hands-on exercises, participants will consolidate their understanding of these core concepts and develop essential technical proficiencies.

This immersive, hands-on programme is designed to master the practical nuances of PostgreSQL performance optimisation. Learners will develop the skills to dissect query execution, refine indexing strategies, fine-tune memory and system configurations, and implement robust workload monitoring. Through real-world case studies and live practical exercises, you will learn to pinpoint and eliminate performance bottlenecks at both the database and infrastructure levels.

This course equips learners with the foundational skills necessary to install, set up, and oversee PostgreSQL databases with confidence. You will explore strategies for securing user access, executing comprehensive backups and restorations, overseeing log management, and optimizing core settings. By engaging in hands-on activities, students will apply real-world administrative procedures while building the groundwork for more advanced concepts like performance tuning and replication.
