Description
Create, develop and manage relational databases in real world applications using PostgreSQL
Key Features
Learn about the PostgreSQL development life cycle including its testing and refactoring
Build productive database solutions and use them in Java applications
A comprehensive guide to learn about SQL, PostgreSQL procedural language and PL/pgSQL
Book DescriptionPostgreSQL is one of the most powerful and easy to use database management systems. It supports the most advanced features included in SQL standards. The book starts with the introduction of relational databases with PostegreSQL. It then moves on to covering data definition language (DDL) with emphasis on PostgreSQL and common DDL commands supported by ANSI SQL. You will then learn the data manipulation language (DML), and advanced topics like locking and multi version concurrency control (MVCC). This will give you a very robust background to tune and troubleshoot your application. The book then covers the implementation of data models in the database such as creating tables, setting up integrity constraints, building indexes, defining views and other schema objects. Next, it will give you an overview about the NoSQL capabilities of PostgreSQL along with Hstore, XML, Json and arrays. Finally by the end of the book, you'll learn to use the JDBC driver and manipulate data objects in the Hibernate framework.What you will learn
Learn concepts of data modelling and relation algebra
Install and set up PostgreSQL database server and client software
Implement data structures in PostgreSQL
Manipulate data in the database using SQL
Implement data processing logic in the database with stored functions, triggers and views
Test database solutions and assess the performance
Integrate database with Java applications
Detailed knowledge of the main PostgreSQL building objects, most used extensions
Practice database development life cycle including analysis, modelling, (documentation), testing, bug fixes and refactoring
Who this book is forIf you are a student, database developer or an administrator, interested in developing and maintaining a PostgreSQL database, then this book is for you. No knowledge of database programming or administration is necessary.
