books about: postgresql     time server whc books:       Practical PostgreSQL (O'Reilly Unix)16 reviews John C. Worsley, Joshua D. Drake O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2002 The critics are unfair, this book is VERY good I wanted to buy this book a few months ago, but after reading the reviews I relented. Finally, a few weeks ago I needed a book on PostgreSQL and it was the only one available, so I bought it. Since then I have referred to it almost everyday in my database programming duties. It is well made, well presented and goes into minute details that other books simply skip. Normally I would have given this ...             PostgreSQL (2nd Edition) (Developer's Library)19 reviews Korry Douglas Sams, 2005 Comprehensive introduction to PostgreSQL I am a database application developer with MS SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase and many other RDBMSs experience. This book allowed me to start working on PostgreSQL immediately. Pro: comprehensive, good examples, good supplement to the documentation. Cons: is not deep enough for me (does not explain format of a transaction log file or WAL file, for example), but, I guess, I should read the ...             The PostgreSQL Reference Manual Volume 1: SQL Language Reference The PostgreSQL Global Development Group Network Theory Ltd., 2007 This manual is volume 1 of the official reference documentation for PostgreSQL 8.2.4. The PostgreSQL commands and their syntax are described in this volume. The book begins with a specification of the SQL language, as implemented by PostgreSQL, covering syntax, data types, functions and operators. This is followed by detailed documentation for every PostgreSQL command (over 100 of them) from ABORT to VALUES, with a precise usage synopsis, ...             PHP and PostgreSQL Advanced Web Programming (Developer's Guide)12 reviews Ewald Geschwinde, Hans-Juergen Schoenig Sams, 2002 excellent practical guide Dispite some minor discrepencies pointed out by another reviewer, the information in this book is very useful. If you want to build complex database web applications with PHP, then Postgres is the right RDBMS to use and this book is the right book to guide you. Well worth the money.             The PostgreSQL Reference Manual Volume 3: Server Administration Guide (The Postgresql Reference Manual) The PostgreSQL Global Development Group Network Theory Ltd., 2007 This manual is volume 3 of the official reference documentation for PostgreSQL 8.2.4. This volume is the system administration guide, and covers the installation, configuration and maintenance of PostgreSQL database servers. Topics covered include backups, security, tuning and upgrade procedures, as well as routine tasks such as creating and deleting databases. Later chapters provide a detailed explanation of advanced PostgreSQL features, ...             Beginning Databases with PostgreSQL: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition (Beginning from Novice to ...8 reviews Neil Matthew, Richard Stones Apress, 2005 Great book I ordered this book because amazon.com bundled it with « Beginning PHP and PostgreSQL 8 ». I must admit I was happily surprised. It's definitely more than a copy of the PostgreSQL manual. Explanations are simple to understand. There's a chapter on database design, something really important to me. Something that surprises me too is the big part on languages. The PostgreSQL manual focused on ...             PostgreSQL 8 for Windows (Database Professional's Library)1 review Richard Blum McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007 A good overview I was interested in learning a bit about PostgreSQL, and coming from a SQL Server background on Windows systems, this seemed like a good place to start (I will pick up some more Linux knowledge another day). The book provides a good overview of components and processes, and for someone with experience in other database platforms, the material makes a good bridge. It will probably not provide ...             The PostgreSQL Reference Manual Volume 2: Programming Guide (The Postgresql Reference Manual)1 review The PostgreSQL Global Development Group Network Theory Ltd., 2007 Don't be a chump There is nothing in this book or the entire series that is not part of the documentation distributed for free with postgresql! So unless having a physical book instead of HTML on your local disk is worth $23 / book to you do not buy this book or any others in the series. I am rather ticked at the publisher and at Amazon for not making it clear that there is no additional information in these ...             Beginning PHP and PostgreSQL 8: From Novice to Professional (Beginning: From Novice to Professional)6 reviews W. Jason Gilmore, Robert H. Treat Apress, 2006 Definitive Reference If you are like me, you have probably dabbled in PHP and MySQL driven CMS solutions, simply because that combination is so prevalent. I consider myself to be primarily a front-end developer / graphic designer, and am not terribly interested in knowing every server-side language there is, so long as whatever I am using can get the job done. Suffice it to say that while I am eager to learn and ...             Beginning Databases with PostgreSQL11 reviews Richard Stones, Neil Matthew Wrox Press, 2001 The best database book I have ever read My most favorites PostgreSQL book and even can be used for the beginner to learn about the database design as well as some of the good SQL statements (I have learnt some of the SQL commands from this book for my PHP and MySql web application). The spoon-feeding style of explanation is very clear and lots of examples will help any beginner up and running in no time! I am waiting for the second ...             PostgreSQL professionell und praxisnah Jens Hartwig Addison Wesley Verlag, 2001             PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook (Developer's Library)10 reviews Ewald Geschwinde, Hans-Juergen Schoenig Sams, 2001 The best PostgreSQL book on the market, but not perfect. I can't give this book 5 stars. But I can give it 4. Compared to all the other PostgreSQL books, its the best compared to the rest.... But its problematic to buy a PostgreSQL book at this time (December 1, 2002) because of versioning. Currently, the newest version out is 7.3. But all these books as of this posting are based on version 7.1 or below ugh... hopefully this is a minor issue. Too ...             PostgreSQL (Linux)4 reviews Jeff Perkins Muska & Lipman/Premier-Trade, 2001 A good introduction I looked through several PostgreSQL books before deciding to buy this one. It had everything I needed to get PostgreSQL up and running in Linux. I especially like the sections on the different API's available. It covers more languages and has more details about the API's than the other books I saw, which is surprising for a book that's not that big. The sections on PL/PGSQL and the Tcl interface ...             Professional Linux Programming7 reviews Neil Matthew and Richard Stones, Brad Clements, ... Peer Information Inc., 2000 Good reference for a wide range of Open Source technologies This book is a follow-up to Beginning Linux Programming, but with a wider range of authors. The book is a series of chapters on various tools and applications, all of them Open Source, based mainly round things that application developers might use, though there is a single chapter on device drivers. Most topics only get a single chapter, so there isn't as much depth as you would find in a ...             Database-SQL-Rdbms Howto: Postgresql Object Relational Database System7 reviews Al Dev Iuniverse Inc, 2000 Excellent I have read this book, and found it is quite useful for SQL. I would recommend to anyone!!             Beginning PHP and PostgreSQL E-Commerce: From Novice to Professional (Beginning, from Novice to Professional) Emilian Balanescu, Mihai Bucica, ... Apress, 2006 The PHP language and PostgreSQL database server have long offered an ideal blend of practicality and power for both the novice and experienced programmer alike. Yet the continued evolution of both technologies makes them better suited to drive enterprise-class applications than ever before. In Beginning PHP and PostgreSQL E-Commerce: From Novice to Professional , noted authors Cristian Darie, Emilian Balanescu, and Mihai Bucica show you how to ...             Postgresql Programmer's Guide2 reviews Iuniverse Inc, 2000 Good content, bad presentation You can tell this was written by back-end guys because the UI is terrible. I am not sure what was used to write this book (I think DocBook) but it doesn't much take into account that humans will be reading it. Glaringly absent is an index. Also the table of contents was polluted by giving seven lines for each function in the API list. Not to mention the API is in the middle of the book and ...             PERVASIVE CREATES DIRECTORY FOR POSTGRESQL COMMUNITY. : An article from: Worldwide Databases Thomson Gale, 2006 This digital document is an article from Worldwide Databases, published by Thomson Gale on April 1, 2006.

As of mid 2002, I do not see any other book which is comparable. This is not a book for teaching SQL or relational databases. This is a book which explains the aspects of PostgreSQL which are distinct to PostgreSQL, and gives brief detailed descriptions of the interfaces presented to users and developers working with PostgreSQL.
