01 · Learn

What you will learn

Plan, test, release, verify, and hand over a PostgreSQL change with a usable rollback route.

  • Define the change and its risk
  • Rehearse the exact rollout and rollback
  • Verify the release and hand it over

02 · Use it

Why this matters

Most production failures follow changes, so safe operation depends on making each change observable and reversible.

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.
