Work better with PostgreSQL. Understand and master the various tools you have at your disposal when working with a database with this two-day intensive workshop.

Topics the workshop will cover:

1. Grok SQL: Understand how queries are constructed, composed, how joins work, and never again get stuck writing complex queries.
2. Constraints, checks, data integrity: Validate your data, and preserve integrity using constraints. Learn about different kinds of constraints, and how, when, and why of using them.
3. Domain modelling, schema Design: How to represent your domain information in a relational universe. Tried and tested design patterns, and when to use them. e.g. normalisation and de-normalisation, triggers, event sourcing.
4. The dev environment: Give yourself a dev setup that gets out of your way and makes you productive. What tools to use? What to keep in your dot-files?
5. Go Meta: Peek under the hood. Answer questions like: what queries are currently running? How many tables are referenced by this table?
