01 · Learn

What you will learn

Explain what PostgreSQL service you are connected to and how a committed change becomes durable.

  • Identify the service you are using
  • See how connections become server work
  • Follow a change into durable storage

02 · Use it

Why this matters

A clear service map stops you changing the wrong database, host, process, or storage location during an incident.

03 · Practise

What you will do

Read each short section, answer a quick understanding check, then use real SQL to solve a guided task in your own temporary database.

04 · Prove it

How you will finish

Pass the SQL lab and the module assessment. Your result is saved to your signed-in account, and a module certificate is created if you pass.
