What you'll learn

Level: Intermediate

Modern transactional applications require a distributed SQL database that supports almost 50 years of SQL advancements. In this virtual training, you will learn more about the Data Definition Language features of Yugabyte SQL (YSQL), which is highly compatible with PostgreSQL. These YSQL language features include column constraints, indexes, views, expressions, operators, built-in functions, user-defined functions, and triggers. Additionally, this course will cover compatible extensions for YSQL.

Wanted: Developers and Architects
