PosgreSQL programmer's guide
by Thomas Lockhart
Published by iUniverse.com

hi,
do not know these two books.
the programmers guide should be available online
at www.postgresql.org

AFAIK are no more books on postgresql published right
now.
but wrox is working on a book called "beginning
databases with postgresql", available august
(see www.wrox.com - link "future titles")

and oreily told me, that they are working on
a postgresql book too, available according to
oreily germany in october 2001

hope this was helpful

markus

Can anybody give me his/her opinion on them?

Any other suggestion for a good book on PostgreSQL's System

Administration

and/or programming?
(of course, I already have the Momjian's one)

Many thanks in advance

I just got my copy of the programmers guide yesterday. It is a printed copy of the document of the same name available online. It is worth the money because you can read it in the bathroom, and because hopefully Thomas Lochart (sic) gets some money. I found myself being frustrated looking at a flashing screen when looking for information, but find a real book to be easier to use. It is already a little out of date, but that is a fact of life with printed materials.

I have a Sony Vaio Picturebook... I hope that this does not discourage
any writers but at 1 kg it is the weight of a book and yes you can take
it to the loo (english for bathroom, bog...).

For reading e-books a tool to rotate the screen would be nice. The
e-book reader for windows does it. I'll have to read the XFree docs to
see if my neomagic card does this in X too.

I will have Acrobat 5 in the next few days. If you are interested maybe
it would be worth while to convert the .ps docs to e-book format?

Off home - temperature is back up over 30� again so time for a beer or two.

Cheers
