Mastering PostgreSQL Database: 10 Key Operations for Efficient Management


Connecting to a PostgreSQL database is the first step in getting started working with PostgreSQL.

Connecting Using psql (PostgreSQL Command Line Interface)

[{"selector":"#anim-f643ae3b-14f1-4e97-835c-fdaf968896a8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Connecting Using pgAdmin

[{"selector":"#anim-33835fdd-39e9-4a56-bf32-a64c897f9aac [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

On PostgreSQL databases, CREATE DATABASE is a command used to create databases

[{"selector":"#anim-c0f55580-251d-4d21-8c01-6ce8fa3c7b25 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The database has to be established first, and then you can connect to it for the needs of creating tables, inserting records, or running various queries

[{"selector":"#anim-627f9615-74ef-42b0-81d3-e5ba11d9afc0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The DROP DATABASE command is the one to be used to delete a database from the PostgreSQL server

[{"selector":"#anim-9b9deda1-28c7-411a-af78-5d086b3e5eff [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]
