Databases and Programming
In today’s world, data is everywhere—and knowing how to handle it effectively is a major advantage in almost any industry. From healthcare and finance to urban planning and geoinformation, organizations depend on fast, secure, and reliable databases to process huge amounts of information. PostgreSQL, one of the most advanced open-source database systems, is trusted across sectors for its flexibility, reliability, and powerful features. When paired with Python—an easy-to-learn but powerful programming language—you unlock a combination that’s ideal for managing and automating data tasks.
Python makes it easy to write scripts that automate repetitive tasks, process large datasets, and build applications that interact directly with your database. By integrating SQL commands within Python, you can create dynamic workflows that save time and reduce errors. If you’re working with geospatial or other complex data types, PostgreSQL’s support for a wide range of formats gives you even more flexibility. Learning to use these tools together not only improves your technical skills but also helps you stand out in a job market that increasingly values data literacy. Whether you’re looking to start a new career or upgrade your current skill set, this course offers a solid first step into the world of programming and databases.
The PostgreSQL and Python course at Geo-ICT is designed to make complex skills easy to learn, whether you’re just starting out or already have some experience. New to Python? Our Python Basics or Advanced courses are a great place to begin.
What will you learn
This course offers a hands-on introduction to using PostgreSQL with Python. You’ll begin by learning how to connect a Python script to a PostgreSQL database—a key skill for any data-related job. Once connected, you’ll practice running SQL commands through Python to pull, update, or delete data as needed. You’ll also learn how to work with different data types, including complex ones like geospatial formats, and how to handle errors in a way that keeps your scripts running smoothly.
Beyond the basics, the course dives into transaction management—specifically how to use commands like commit and rollback to keep your data accurate and consistent. By the end, you’ll know how to automate routine database tasks, make your scripts more reliable, and confidently manage data in real-world scenarios. Whether you’re handling spatial data or enterprise-level datasets, you’ll leave the course with the confidence to work independently and the skills to take your projects further.

You’ll gain more than technical knowledge—you’ll learn how to apply it in ways that matter.
- Learn from instructors with hands-on experience in data and geoinformation systems
- Practice with real-world examples drawn from our professional projects
- Use the latest tools and techniques we apply in client work
- Build a strong base for growth in data science, automation, or spatial data analysis
Course structure
Day 1
We’ll kick things off with a short presentation that covers the basics of Python and PostgreSQL, making sure everyone has a solid starting point. Then, you’ll jump into hands-on exercises that mirror real-world tasks. First, you’ll learn how to connect your Python script to a PostgreSQL database. Next, you’ll work with the execute command to run SQL statements directly from Python. As you progress, you’ll learn how to manage database transactions using the rollback and commit functions to ensure your data stays accurate. Finally, you’ll practice using the close function to properly end database connections. This step-by-step structure builds your skills progressively, giving you the confidence to apply them in your own projects.
