Theory OKWork environment very good, no particular worries. Too many errors in the course exercises. For a subject as complicated as this, I'm generally disappointed with the practical exercises because manipulation is the basis of the developer's skills. Even though I learnt a lot, I'm still disappointed.

The practical exercises are not sufficiently prepared before the course. For several exercises (pgbouncer, pgbackrest via patroni), we had problems installing it. We were unable to complete the course.
