Looking for a good programming reference
So, I am a decent oracle SQL and PL/SQL programmer looking to expand into
PostgreSQL. Can someone point me to a decent programming book on the
topic? I have looked Amazon and Apress and not found much, so I am not
sure where to turn. Or perhaps I am looking the wrong places.

*Your request is a bit generic. I'm not sure what you mean by "a decent
programming book", as that can encompass several programming languages.*
*That being said, if you are specifically wanting to learn more about
PostgreSQL, I would suggest you look into the following 3 books.PostgreSQL

I reserve the right to fantasize. Whether or not you
wish to share my fantasy is entirely up to you.
