Introduction:

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, data is at the heart of every organization's success. The PostgreSQL database system is a robust and popular choice for managing critical data, but ensuring database availability, scalability, and resilience is crucial. One strategy that can significantly mitigate risks associated with database availability is adopting a multi-region architecture. SaaS applications in particular are often implemented as single-region applications, and can benefit greatly from a multi-region approach.  In this blog post, we'll delve deep into the risks of not having a multi-region strategy for your PostgreSQL database system and explore why it's a game-changer in today's data-centric world.

In PostgreSQL, the full-text search returns all the possible results for the searched terms and their variants as well which was a drawback of the simple search approach.

SELECT if String Contains a Substring Match in PostgreSQL can be accomplished using different methods, such as LIKE and ILIKE, position(), substring(), etc.

In Postgres, the UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT are the set operators that are applied on at least two tables to get a specific combined result.

In PostgreSQL, the UPDATE FROM statement is used to update the data/row of any table according to the data of another table.

Commenting on the special character in psql may be a problem sometimes. To avoid errors we can use different methods, such as \echo, \warn, “\\” separator, etc.

In PostgreSQL, the error “window function nth_value requires an OVER clause” occurs when the OVER clause is not specified in the query.

In PostgreSQL, an already existing user-defined data type that is no longer in our use can be dropped by using the DROP TYPE IF EXISTS statement.
