Obtain all the skills you need to configure and manage a PostgreSQL database. In this book you
will begin by installing and configuring PostgreSQL on a server by focusing on system-level
parameter settings before installation. You will also look at key post-installation steps to
avoid issues in the future. The basic configuration of PostgreSQL is tuned for compatibility
rather than performance. Keeping this in mind you will fine-tune your PostgreSQL parameters
based on your environment and application behavior. You will then get tips to improve database
monitoring and maintenance followed by database security for handling sensitive data in
PostgreSQL. Every system containing valuable data needs to be backed-up regularly. PostgreSQL
follows a simple back-up procedure and provides fundamental approaches to back up your data.
You will go through these approaches and choose the right one based on your environment.

implement a pooling mechanism for your PostgreSQL instances to connect to other databases.
