Hello Everyone,

I have been working on PostgreSQL for quite a while (2 yrs) now.

I have got "PostgreSQL 9.0 High Performance" book and quite excited to go
through it.

Please let me know any source where i can get more books on PG, I am
especially looking for books on PG internals, architecture, Backup &
Recovery and HA.

Looking forward for the information.

Regards,
VB

Re: : Looking for a PostgreSQL book

The same publisher (Packt) has a book *PostgreSQL 9 Administration Cookbook* by
Simon Riggs and Hannu Krosing that is equally useful as Greg's *High
Performance* book

Re: : Looking for a PostgreSQL book

The cook book is indeed helpful, but i doubt if it was ever properly reviewed. Many typos, many apparent errors,
code for the cache utils pg_cacheutils is mentioned to exist somewhere but it's not there, and many more

At this point the pgfincore project is the most popular way to do the
work that pg_cacheutils was suggested for there. See
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgfincore/ and
http://www.pgcon.org/2010/schedule/events/261.en.html for more information.
