PostgreSQL is widely recognized for its standards compliance and ability to efficiently manage large-scale datasets. However, one of its most powerful—but often overlooked—features is its support for diverse data types and remarkable extensibility.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll begin with an overview of PostgreSQL’s core capabilities for data modeling and analytical querying. Then, we’ll dive deeper into some of the more advanced and lesser-known features that make PostgreSQL a robust platform for modern data analytics.
