From Fundamentals to Advanced Spatial Analysis
What you'll learn
Introduction to PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and pgAdmin
Step-by-step installation and configuration for a smooth start
Learn how to create and manage databases using both pgAdmin (GUI) and the command line interface (CLI).
Understand how to design and manage spatial and non-spatial tables effectively
Upload and manage Shapefiles,GeoJson data and CSV files in your PostGIS databaseConnect and manage your spatial database using QGIS and GeoServer
Learn key concepts like normalization, primary/foreign keys, and relational models for efficient data structuring
Explore vector geometry, raster, and other spatial data types
Upload Shapefiles using both CLI (psql) and pgAdmin's Import/Export Wizard
Import GeoJSON data into your spatial database
Load KML/KMZ files using the ogr2ogr utility
Import raster data using raster2pgsql for spatial analysis.
Work with Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS) and SRID functions
Write effective SQL queries for spatial and non-spatial data
Perform inserts, updates, and deletions on spatial records
Use spatial joins and spatial relationship queries to extract meaningful insights
Apply spatial indexing, VACUUM, and ANALYZE for optimized performance
Learn how to boost query performance using GiST (Generalized Search Tree) indexes in PostGIS.
Connect and manage your spatial database using QGIS and GeoServer
Dynamically connect PostGIS with web mapping library to insert, query, and display spatial data on interactive maps
Requirements
No prior experience with spatial databases is needed - this course starts from the basics
Basic knowledge of databases or SQL is helpful but not mandatory
A computer with internet access
Willingness to install free software like PostgreSQL, PostGIS, pgAdmin, GeoServer and QGIS
Description
PostGIS is a powerful spatial extension for PostgreSQL that allows you to store, analyze, and manipulate geographic and geometric data with precision and efficiency. This course offers a complete learning journey through PostGIS-updated with the latest features.You'll start with foundational concepts, gradually building up to advanced spatial queries, performance optimization, and real-world applications. Whether you're managing vector or raster data, creating spatial indexes, or performing proximity analysis, each topic is presented in a clear and practical way.QGIS and GeoServer are also introduced in the course as companion tools to visualize your spatial data and explore query results, helping you bridge the gap between spatial theory and practical implementation.In addition to core PostGIS skills, the course includes a hands-on Web GIS web application built using web mapping library, where you'll learn to dynamically insert and retrieve spatial data from PostGIS. This real-world integration demonstrates how to connect your database to modern, interactive web maps-an essential skill for any aspiring Web GIS developer.No previous experience with spatial databases is required. By the end of the course, you'll be equipped with the skills and confidence to manage and analyze spatial data effectively using PostGIS in a wide range of geospatial projects.
Who this course is for
Beginners and Advanced Learners looking to build a strong foundation in spatial databases using PostGIS.
GIS Professionals and Analysts who want to enhance their skills by learning how to store, query, and manage spatial data efficiently.
QGIS Users who wish to connect their desktop GIS projects with a spatial database for more powerful data management and analysis.
Developers and Data Engineers interested in adding geospatial capabilities to their applications.
Students and Researchers in geography, urban planning, environmental science, or related fields who need practical knowledge of spatial databases.
Anyone Curious About Geospatial Technology, Web GIS, or how to build spatial apps using open-source tools.
The course also introduces GeoServer, teaching learners how to publish and share spatial data on the web, making it ideal for those interested in Web GIS and spatial web services.
