This video introduces PostgreSQL, explaining the fundamental concepts of databases and the importance of learning them even in the age of AI. The presenter clarifies the distinctions between databases, DBMS, RDBMS, and SQL, positioning PostgreSQL as a powerful, open-source relational database management system.
Hello, what's up, guys? Finally, a brand-new series is going to start on PostgreSQL.
And I'm super excited, and I hope you're just as excited too.
And I know you must be having a question in your mind
The era of AI has arrived, so why should we learn anything?
So I would like to tell you that even if AI is giving you queries
What guarantee can you provide that the query is absolutely correct?
It's the most recent up-to-date query
What if it says Postgres and gives MySQL?
There are many such things; at the very least, you know the basics.
And guys, this is the main reason why, at this time
You have to understand this concept of database, backend, and frontend.
So that when you use AI, you can determine whether the answer is correct or not.
That's why when it comes to the Postgres database
So guys, this is the world's most advanced open-source relational database.
I will tell you everything in this video
Don't worry, guys, in today's video
I am going to cover our introduction and installation.
And I have kept the introduction in such a way that I will assume
That you know nothing, and we will start from the very basics
First of all, what is a database?
Then what is DBMS?
Then what is RDBMS?
Then what is a Non-Relational Database Management System?
Then what is SQL?
What is MySQL?
What is PostgreSQL?
Once you know these things, it will be very easy for you.
Alright, guys, let's get the video started without any delay.
But before that, if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet, please do so.
And guys, the like target for this video is only 500 likes.
So first of all, let's see what a database is?
So here you can see what a database is?
It is a collection of actual data stored in an organized manner.
So what is the simple meaning of this?
The simple meaning of this is that you have a lot of data.
You have stored it in an organized manner.
So what has become your database?
Now, if we talk about some examples
Like when we talk about collections of data
Like the student's record
Like when you go to school
In school, we have different classes, Section A and Section B.
So there are so many students in section A.
So they must have kept their records in one place.
So that's the collection of data
Likewise, user accounts
Now it can be any user account of any application
Orders in an e-commerce app
When you place some orders in an e-commerce app
So that is also your data
So see what is written here
The actual stored data
In the database, you hold this
Which data is actually stored and kept
Simply understand it like this
You know the data.
Whatever you see is data.
You must have heard of a base many times.
Like if I give an example of the army
So the army has its own base.
They have their own barracks.
And they have their own base.
They have their own bases in different areas.
Where they are living together
Similarly, when the data is living together
In an organized way
So you can understand it as a database
Data collection
Stored in an organized manner
This is your database
And don't worry, I'll show you the entire life
Who do you call a database?
And who you can call a database
Now what is DBMS?
If you see here
There is a DB here
There is a database here.
But we have something called a management system.
Now this database was fine
But what is this management system?
Let's see it here
So we can clearly see here
That this is a software
DBMS
That is(Notification) software
Which helps you to create
Manage and access database
This is it
See this
Database we know
Collection of actual data
Now the data which you have collected
Like
Take this data
This is my data
Now I want a pink color
Marker or whatever
So I will need something
Which one is pink?
Do you understand?
This is a software
With which you can create data
You can handle it.
And you can access it
For now, I want to access it.
So here you have to provide a query
But this is it
Database, actual collection of data
DBMS means this is a software system.
With which you can
Create database
You can access it.
You can read it.
You can do everything.
How it helps you
In storing data
In updating data
In deleting data
And many other things
Example
You must finally be thinking
Yes, a DBMS is software.
Which software
The one you are using
Is DBMS
In broad terms
MySQL is your database management system.
With which you used to
Create database
The database has been created.
PostgreSQL
MongoDB
SQLite
The database has been created.
You must finally be thinking
Why I didn't provide an example
But why didn't I give it a name?
Because it is not there
You will create it.
In MySQL
Let's say you created a database of a student
Or
When you go to book a movie
Movie database
E-commerce database
Product database
We create it
With the help of a database management system
This is your DBMS
Now let's see RDBMS
There is no difference.
Like DBMS
Database management system
It is the same.
The only difference is
This part
Relational
The only difference is
Relational
This is an extra word
Here you can see
RDBMS
Is a special type of DBMS
Or you can say
A DBMS has some subtypes.
With which you can
Improve it
As we said
A DBMS is a software system.
It's like software.
With the help of which you can
Create, access, manage, query
We saw examples.
MySQL, Postgres
In detail
In depth
If we separate it
One of them is
RDBMS
It is a DBMS.
It is a software.
The only difference is
This type of software
When data is stored
It is stored in the form of
Table
This is the difference
Here we are talking about relationship.
Means tables
There will be a relationship.
When they will create data
It will be in the form of a table
There will be rows, columns
There will be a relationship.
That's it
When they are creating a database
When they are storing data
When they are creating
In the form of tables
In the form of a relationship
That's your RDBMS
Stored data in tables
Arranged in rows and columns
Uses relationship between tables
What are the key features?
It uses SQL
Oh my God
What is SQL?
I will tell you
Relationship support between tables
Has primary keys and foreign keys
Transaction
You will receive many things
So you know
If you
Different
Common property
If you separate it
You will get RDBMS
And the second one
Non-relational database management system
What is MongoDB
I didn't put it here
Because we are looking at Postgres
But I told you
If you separate it further
You will get RDBMS
And non-RDBMS
What is happening
When you store data in tables
Non-relational database management system
You must have heard the name.
That's MongoDB
Key-value pairs
You store data in a database.
I mean database data
I hope you know now
Database and DBMS
Now you know
RDBMS
Let's go further
Example
User table
This is ID and name absorbs
This is the table of orders
User ID links to order
User ID
Has relationship with user table
That relationship
What makes it between the tables
You can't see
See here
Relationship between tables
That relationship
Create our database management system
Relational database management system
Simple
Let's move on.
Finally
I showed you
SQL
The key feature is SQL
What is SQL?
MySQL
PostgreSQL
What is SQL?
Structured Query Language
Hold this
When you want to talk to a database
It has a language.
SQL
The language of databases
When we create a website
HTML
We display content using HTML
We perform styling through SQL
CSS
JavaScript is a programming language.
It is used in the frontend
Now it is used in the backend.
MongoDB
SQL is a language.
Hold this
Used to communicate with databases
Like insert data
Read, update, delete
SQL is not a database software.
It is a language.
Keep this in mind
It is not a programming language.
It is a language.
Through which you communicate
With database
I want to insert data
You will use SQL
Finally, what is PostgreSQL?
See
What is this?
SQL is here
I don't need to say
PostgreSQL is a software
Through which you can create, manage, and access databases
It is advanced.
Open source
See
It is advanced.
Open source
It uses SQL to manage relational databases.
It is important for you
It uses SQL
See
It is a software.
What is it?
It is a software.
It has a language.
To create a database
PostgreSQL
It requires the assistance of SQL
So that it can query
Simple
PostgreSQL is a software
We will use this language
To create a database
Create tables
Insert data
This is PostgreSQL
It is a powerful database system.
For storing and organizing
Structured information
This is it
I think
You have understood everything.
PostgreSQL
Whenever we talk about databases
Today we know
It is a software.
It uses the SQL language
To create a database
We call it RDBMS
Because it stores data
In the form of tables
We have a relationship.
That's why it falls under
DBMS only
PostgreSQL is a DBMS software
If you want to go further
You can call it RDBMS
Simple
For you
Tell me in the comment section
Where does PostgreSQL fit?
Where is it?
Is it a DBMS?
Or RDBMS
Non-relational database management system
Where does it fit?
Let's go to the next slide.
It is a special kind of database software.
We have the first database.
Then DBMS
If there is no database, what will you do with the software?
Who will you manage?
It is like
If there is no food, you call for food.
Bring food
Database
The data itself
DBMS
Software to manage databases
What is it?
What is RDBMS?
It is a software for managing databases.
With relational table
PostgreSQL is a specific
RDBMS
Alright
A simple example
Excel vs PostgreSQL
You can use Excel as a database.
Why
Let me tell you
Both
Store data in rows and columns
Both store data in rows and columns
But
PostgreSQL adds relationship
Between tables
It is different.
It establishes a relationship between tables.
Excel
Microsoft Excel
Excel
Rows
Columns
Basically
Columns
Records
Columns
Fields
PostgreSQL
Between tables
We have a relationship.
You can see
In yellow
What is it?
It is yours
Rows
You can see a specific field.
It is
You can see a specific field.
It is
What do we call it?
We call it
Simple column
You can call it field.
This is yours
Row
This
These are your columns
I don't need to say
Complete
Rows and columns
What do we call it?
Let me tell you
This is your table
When you use PostgreSQL
We store data there
In the form of table
This is your table
Let me show you.
By the way
Excel
Same
Columns
It is not a technique.
PostgreSQL
When we talk about columns
Their type is common.
When we talk about names
So in this film, you'll see, you'll only see the name
It also falls within a string data type.
Next, we will look at data types
It happened right here.
When we talk about age
A is a number, so here
You will see that a similar data type
What is the column that is
Holds it tightly, keeping it close to himself
If only we could see it then
I'm looking at the first row.
This is your first row.
If we take the data from the first row
If we look here, I can see it
The type is different.
Van again Binod again 23
Van Record means numbers as well
I can't even write this, what kind of name is this?
You're not getting it, are you? I'm just trying to tell you something, and you're not even listening.
That's all.
So, Gais, this was your introduction to PostgreSQL SQL
And I told you already that
I'll also show you the installation, but I think
To fully understand the basics
And if you had even better examples
To explain this
Please make sure to let me know by commenting
I will be very sorry.
And I hope that finally
These were the keywords for the database
SQL
DBMS
And your DB
What all this was about will finally become clear today
will be
If you understand the basics
If it doesn't seem so for you
You will go first, for the first time
So, this is all you need to learn for today.
It is very important.
For the video today
How did he do it in the system?
I'll make a ser with the friends.
