1.0 out of 5 stars Read the Intro and decide for yourself, January 18, 2002
By A Customer
All you need to do to evaluate how wonderful this book is is to read the introductory section entitled "Laws of Physics Apply to Software."

A web search based on that phrase should find you the same elsewhere on the web; most if not all of the material in this book has assortedly been presented under such titles as a "Linux Database HOWTO" or "PostgreSQL HOWTO." (Originally it was called the "Database HOWTO"; people objected because there are other databases on Linux than just PostgreSQL, and the HOWTO is basically a "cheering session for PostgreSQL.)

It is still mirrored, here and there; the Linux Documentation Project indicates that the PostgreSQL HOWTO has been "removed for review," which is rather suggestive of the quality of the material...

1.0 out of 5 stars Deserves 0 Stars, January 17, 2002
By A Customer
It is amazing what gets into print. This is a Bad Book. It is full of insane rants and inaccurate statements. There are good books on PosgtreSQL. PLEASE go buy one of them and not this.

I suspect the first two reviews are actually by Al Dev.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stick with Momjian, May 9, 2001
Nothing new in this book. Lots of errors and problems. It looks as though it was thrown together very quickly and without a lot of thought. Stick with Bruce Momjian's book as an intro and good reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just Bad
I've been in the computer business for 20 years and this ranks as the worst book I've ever bought. I wish I could say something positive about it, but can't think of anything.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written junk
This book might be useful as the basis for a game where players get points for finding misspellings and typos (Look Inside the Introduction to play for yourself). Read more
