In almost every database you will find time values and temporal data. This course will teach you how to deal with time, time zones, and more complex temporal data in PostgreSQL effectively.
What you'll learn
When your data has a temporal aspect, dealing with time, time zones, and time-based relationships gets very complicated quickly. In this course, PostgreSQL 9: Time and Temporal Data, you'll learn how to handle the time dimension of your data in a structured way. First, you'll learn about the date and time related types, and functions built into PostgreSQL. Next, you'll explore how to work with time zones. Finally, you'll discover how to design temporal tables, and how to query and maintain data in them. When you’re finished with this course, you'll have the skills and understanding of temporal data and time representations needed to manage temporal data effectively. Software required: PostgreSQL.
