Next it covers <strong>cluster administration configuration settings and performance tracking</strong>. You will master the <strong>management of permissions and roles through intricate role hierarchies authentication methods and security settings</strong>. Next we'll <strong>optimize server performance plan queries and manage resources based on real performance data</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p>The next section dives deep into <strong>complicated data types bulk data operations advanced indexing methods and the creation of triggers and functions</strong> all with an emphasis on effective data management. Next you will learn about <strong>table partitioning strategies performing physical and logical backups database restoration and process automation using BART</strong>. We then move on to <strong>streaming replication where we will configure administer and monitor replication to ensure optimal uptime</strong>. Finally we will explore <strong>point-in-time recovery (PITR)</strong> which allows us to restore databases to specific points in time by <strong>replaying WAL logs</strong>. In short this book will equip database administrators with the knowledge and skills to confidently handle PostgreSQL 17 databases.</p><p><br></p><h2>Key Learnings</h2><p>Upgrade and configure PostgreSQL 17 including post-upgrade validation and configuration.</p><p>Learn PostgreSQL architecture memory models and cluster management.</p><p>Use hierarchical permissions authentication and security for advanced role management.</p><p>Tune server performance with query planning resource management and configuration tuning.</p><p>Effectively use PostgreSQL extensions JSONB and arrays.</p><p>Optimize queries with GIN GiST and BRIN indexing.</p><p>Master table partitioning for large dataset performance and scalability.</p><p>Automate physical and logical backups and confidently restore databases.</p><p>Manage PostgreSQL streaming replication for high availability and automatic failover.</p><p>Restore data using WAL logs and Point-in-Time Recovery.</p><p><br></p><h2>Table of Content</h2><ol><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Upgrading and Setting up PostgreSQL 17</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Expert Database Cluster Administration</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Advanced Database and Role Management</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Configuration and Performance Tuning</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Effective Data Management</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Table Partitioning Strategies</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Backup and Recovery Best Practices</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Streaming Replication and High Availability</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Point-in-Time Recovery</li></ol><p><br></p>
