Customer Reviews
This would help a beginner, (except for the short section on installing it) get used to the basics of sql and databases in general, as well as providing a guide for practical, efficient / effective design. For the expert, this book seemingly covers every individual publicised feature of pgsql, and gives information on extending /customising postgresql from the source for ultimate performance etc.
Unlike my review, the book is extremely well written! Highly recommended. Especially for such a potentially complex topic.
As a 4th year software engineering student I found this book invaluable in completing my honours dissertation.
As the previous reviewer said, it is very well written and starts with the real basics through to the most complicated issues. However, each chapter is reasonably independent of the last, so it is very easy to jump around different parts of the book without getting lost.
In particular the chapters on accessing postgres using different programming languages such as C, java, and perl are entirely self-contained and are well explained using several examples.
In summary, this is a perfect book for beginners right through to experts, buy it now!
