For many years I have been publishing my SQL Server Quickies – short, focused videos that explain specific database topics in just a few minutes. These quick sessions have helped countless developers and DBAs to sharpen their skills without the need to spend hours in front of lengthy tutorials.
Now it’s time to expand this concept into the world of PostgreSQL. I’m very excited to announce the launch of my brand-new series: PostgreSQL Quickies
Each episode will give you a short and practical introduction to a PostgreSQL feature, tool, or concept. The idea is simple:
- Bite-sized learning in just a few minutes
- Hands-on demos that you can try immediately
- A focus on real-world usage and best practices
Episode 1: PostgreSQL with Docker 🐳
The very first PostgreSQL Quickie is now live on YouTube! In this episode, I show you how to quickly spin up PostgreSQL in a Docker container and start using it within minutes.
This is the perfect starting point if you want to experiment with PostgreSQL locally without installing anything directly on your system.
What’s Next?
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be publishing more PostgreSQL Quickies covering essential topics such as basic administration, performance insights, and key differences between PostgreSQL and SQL Server. If you’re coming from a SQL Server background (like me), this series will help you get productive with PostgreSQL faster. And if you’re already a PostgreSQL user, you might still discover useful tips and shortcuts along the way.
Stay Tuned!
Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and turn on notifications so you won’t miss the upcoming Quickies. I’d love to hear your feedback and topic suggestions – let me know in the comments which PostgreSQL features you’d like me to cover in future episodes.
Let’s explore PostgreSQL together – one Quickie at a time!
Thanks for your time,
-Klaus
