2.0 out of 5 stars = * *, January 9, 2002
By 
Larry R (San Diego, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PostgreSQL (Linux) (Paperback)
My expectations might have been set better if the title was something like "Special Edition Teach Yourself Relational Databases Using PostgreSQL in 24 Hours For Dummies".

I think this book is extremely thin on useful relevant content, although not completely without value; nevertheless, the books "PostgreSQL Essential Reference" and "Begininning Databases with PostgreSQL" are available now, and in my opinion they are vastly more useful than this book.

NB: "Practical PostgreSQL" is not out yet as I write this review.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction, April 18, 2002
This review is from: PostgreSQL (Linux) (Paperback)
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 are very good. I think it's more geared to developers than administrators. The only complaint I have is that it didn't go into a lot of detail on setting up security, I had to dig through the official docs for that. Overall, I'm very pleased with the book. It's not a complete reference, but it's a good introduction that will get you started.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst Book I've ever bought, December 9, 2004
This review is from: PostgreSQL (Linux) (Paperback)
The author focus on nothing. He even don't have a clue what's the difference between inheritance and template as you can see in chapter 18.
