FAQs

PostgreSQL training equips you with the skills to build, manage and optimise one of the most powerful, open-source database systems in use today. 

What is PostgreSQL used for?

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source database used by developers and businesses to store and manage data. It’s popular for databases from small apps to huge enterprise systems. 

Is PostgreSQL suitable for beginners?

Yes, we have courses suited for individuals at varying experience levels. Our SQL for PostgreSQL course is built specifically for those new to databases. No previous experience is needed – just a willingness to learn. 

What makes StayAhead PostgreSQL courses different?

All our courses focus on experiential learning with live labs and expert trainers who adapt content to meet real-world challenges. It’s practical, hands-on and tailored to the learner’s goals. 

How can I join tables in PostgreSQL?

In PostgreSQL, you can join tables using SQL JOIN clauses to combine rows based on related columns. The most common types are INNER JOIN, which returns matching rows from both tables; LEFT JOIN, which returns all rows from the left table and matching rows from the right; and RIGHT JOIN, the reverse of a left join. You can also use FULL JOIN to return all rows when there is a match in either table and SELF JOIN to join a table itself. Learning how to use joins effectively is a core part of SQL for PostgreSQL training.

What our customers say
Testimonial
PostgreSQL made simple

"The documentation was very detailed and will be useful to refer back to for any Postgres DBA work in future. Tarn's presentation was a good mixture of practical examples and whiteboards, very well explained and he is obviously a subject matter expert. The exercises were really effective in consolidating the learning material."
