Books for experienced developers
Hi
I have vast experience working with MS-SQL. Which books would be good for me
to use in order to teach myself PostgreSQL? I need to migrate a MS-SQL Db to
PostgreSQL. It contains tablers,views,stored procs, and user defined
functions.
Thanks
Craig

With no other RDBMS experience, I learned PostgreSQL using the online
documentation. I'm using tables, views, rules, triggers, and stored
procedures -- everything you've mentioned. Everything you need is
explained very well in the docs.
Thanks

Postgresql introductions and concepts by bruce momijan isn't bad,
though it is severely out of date, but most of the concepts of
postgresql have stayed the same, the text will not provide you with
any how-tos for the newer functionality, though it should help you
make the conceptual switch to postgresql. It's available for cheap
used through 3rd party vendors on amazon. Though if you have no
problems reading online texts, the online documentation is very good,
and far more up to date.
