Overview of this book

PostgreSQL is one of the most popular open source database management systems in the world, and it supports advanced features included in SQL standards. This book will familiarize you with the latest features in PostgreSQL 11, and get you up and running with building efficient PostgreSQL database solutions from scratch. Learning PostgreSQL, 11 begins by covering the concepts of relational databases and their core principles. You’ll explore the Data Definition Language (DDL) and commonly used DDL commands supported by ANSI SQL. You’ll also learn how to create tables, define integrity constraints, build indexes, and set up views and other schema objects. As you advance, you’ll come to understand Data Manipulation Language (DML) and server-side programming capabilities using PL/pgSQL, giving you a robust background to develop, tune, test, and troubleshoot your database application. The book will guide you in exploring NoSQL capabilities and connecting to your database to manipulate data objects. You’ll get to grips with using data warehousing in analytical solutions and reports, and scaling the database for high availability and performance. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a thorough understanding of PostgreSQL 11 and developed the necessary skills to build efficient database solutions.

Installing PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL can be installed on almost all modern operating systems. It can be installed on all recent Linux distributions, Windows 2000 SP4 and later, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, macOS, AIX, and Solaris. Also, PostgreSQL can work on various CPU architectures, including x86, x86_64, and IA64. You can check whether a platform (operating system and CPU architecture combination) is supported by exploring the PostgreSQL build farm at http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/. You can compile and install

In order to automate PostgreSQL installation and to reduce server administrative tasks, it's recommended you use PostgreSQL binaries, which come with the operating system packaging system. This approach normally has one drawback: binaries that aren't up to date. However, PostgreSQL's official website maintains the binaries for the most common platforms, including BSD...
