"Learn PostgreSQL" is an in-depth and informative 19-chapter guide covering the entire spectrum of PostgreSQL database management. It traces PostgreSQL's evolution from its Ingres roots in 1986 to the advanced features of PostgreSQL 16. This book, ideal for both novices and experienced administrators, thoroughly explains PostgreSQL's architecture, including Clusters, Postmasters, Backend Processes, and more, with a focus on its native command-line client, PSQL. Its clear, example-laden content is best appreciated with some Linux, Unix, and SQL knowledge. This guide not only makes you proficient in PostgreSQL but also enriches your understanding of RDBMS principles relevant to other databases. A must-read for anyone keen on mastering PostgreSQL and applying it effectively.

I have the digital copy of this book and it is great to quickly search and find an area you want to refresh or dive deeper into. Being able to copy and paste code as a starting point quickly too is great. As mainly a user of T-SQL, this book was easy to follow and get understand the benefits of PostgreSQL and the different syntax.Its comprehensive coverage, practical examples, and strong focus on security make it an indispensable resource for both beginners and experienced professionals. In addition to security, the book covers scalability, performance optimization, and best practices for managing PostgreSQL databases in production environments. Overall great book to have on hand.
