The next two weeks dive into features like: full text search, built-in functions, our many datatypes, indexing and transactional DDL. I&#8217;ll be surveying students as we go along to add detail where I can on key features they&#8217;re interested in.  The last few weeks go into administration, maintenance and configuration. I&#8217;ll also be throwing in details about the PostgreSQL community &#8211; people, the best places to go for help, and hopefully some cameos from Postgres community members.<\/p>\n<p>So, don&#8217;t forget to <a href=\"http:\/\/codelesson.com\/courses\/view\/introduction-to-postgresql\">sign up today<\/a>!
