Take your career to the next level. Move into highly sought after PostgreSQL Database Administrator roles
Today huge data is getting generated from a variety of sources. Whether you are collecting data from an IOT device, having a content management system or simply want to record your transaction information – you are dealing with a lot of data. And if you need to store and access your data, you are going to need a database.
But the question is – which is the right database for your needs?
The huge and fast-changing database landscape is making the choice of databases ever more difficult. So out of this vast range of relational and non-relational databases available, which is the right choice?
Out of the relational databases, PostgreSQL is the most advanced database in the open source relational database market. Its adoption is increasing rapidly.
PostgreSQL is object-relational database management system and has a lot of capability. It is built using an object-relational model and supports complex structures and a range of built-in and user-defined data types. It provides extensive data capacity.
Moreover postgreSQL is trusted for its data integrity. PostgreSQL is fully ACID that is - atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability compliant and therefore ideal for Online Transaction Processing workloads as well as for analytics.
And what’s more?
PostgreSQL is free and open source software. Its source code is available under PostgreSQL license, a liberal open source license. You are free to use, modify and distribute PostgreSQL in any form.
Just look at these numbers.
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of database administrators is projected to grow 11 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth in this occupation will be driven by the increased data needs of companies across the economy.
According to indeed company, average salary for PostgreSQL DBA is $94,611 per year.
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics , Database Administrators rank # 5 in best technology jobs

What if I don’t have any need for learning PostgreSQL course right now?
Some of the major issues in terms of databases today are availability, scalability and security.
PostgreSQL is object-relational database management system and has a lot of capability. It is built using an object-relational model and supports complex structures and a range of built-in and user-defined data types. It provides extensive data capacity.
Moreover postgreSQL is trusted for its data integrity. PostgreSQL is fully ACID that is - atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability compliant and therefore ideal for Online Transaction Processing workloads as well as for analytics.
The lack of PostgreSQL expertise is the number one challenge today. There is a shortage of PostgreSQL professionals today. Database administrators’ job is projected to grow 11 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations.
As the statistics and figures show – there is an advancement in technology is rapidly expanding into our lives each and every day, meaning even though you may not be directly using any of this right now, sooner or later you will run into it inevitably.
I’ve seen other courses charge for a certificate, is this course the same?
We don’t believe in charging hundreds of dollars just for a certificate of completion. As we stated above real-world experience is much more valuable than certificates alone.
