hello
I have the Wrox book and now I want a somewhat more
andvanced book

I saw "postgresql developers handbook" and "postpresql
and php advanced web programming" (or similar)

both by samspublishing and by the same authors.
the reviews at amazon are good

my question is:
is it a good idea to buy both books or is there
a lot of overlapping ???
unfortunately my local bookstore hase none of these
books so I can not check this

I am interessted in PL/PGSQL, PHP, Python and
administratin, writing functions with Perl and python and performance
tuning. A chapter on Ruby and Postgresql would
be great, but as far as I have seen in the TOC Ruby
is not mentioned

thanks in advance for a short answer.

I can see you are a German reader.
If you wait there will be only an advanced book in German (Markt Und
TEchnik Verlag) for Postgresql.
This will be an advacned version.

Ruby is not mentioned in any of our books.

What book you buy depends on your needs.
If you use more PHP then buy the PHP-Book. If not it's better you buy
the other.
AFAIK you need the postgresql Developers Handbook .

This are only suggestions. You can buy other books too :-)
