Gostei da qualidade geral do livro, bem como do fato de ser uma obra bem completa - do meu ponto-de-vista.

My main gripe with this book isn’t that it’s entirely useless – it isn’t – but rather that it doesn’t come close to being what it claims to be. Whatever it is, it certainly isn’t ‘a comprehensive guide for PostgreSQL developers and administrators’. Nor is it likely to help anyone ‘Master' PostgreSQL 9.6 (let alone the up-to-date version of the application). Instead, the book is a bunch of tips, some of which might be of value, others not so much. Rather than covering everything systematically, the author has written about those areas which he knows something about and has left the rest out.For example, the chapter ‘Writing Stored Procedures’ doesn’t discuss PL/V8 or PL/R – except to say that they are ‘beyond the scope of this chapter’. Clearly, they are relevant and should have been covered. Material on PL/V8 would have been particularly helpful, since this is not mentioned in any of the (five) other Packt books on PostgreSQL which I have. The GitHub page gives no help at all with installation on Windows, and documentation beyond that is scarce.The rest of the chapter on stored procedures rambles aimlessly through a few features of PL/pgSQL and touches on PL/Python and PL/Perl. In the few examples that were given, keywords are used without introduction, and the code is explained barely or not at all. Another irritant of this chapter is the constant and detailed references to Oracle code. The author is obviously familiar with Oracle: later in the book, he devotes several pages to migrating databases from Oracle and MySQL – but nothing about migrating from MS SQL. Getting up to speed with MS SQL would presumably have taken a bit more trouble than he was prepared to put in.Other parts of the book are equally sloppy and incomplete. For example, the discussion on pgpass on p.268 mentions that it ‘can be found in the %APPDATA%postgresqlpgpass.config path’. Since this isn’t a path, it’s obviously not there. It’s actually in the file (not the path) %APPDATA%\postgresql\pgpass.conf. Given that this is in the official documentation, there's no excuse for not checking it before bunging it in the book and causing frustration to his readers. Some sources say that the file should be in UNIX format. It's precisely this kind of detail which the author of a 'comprehensive' guide to PostgreSQL should get right. The password problem is a big one for Windows users, because PSQL defaults to the currently-logged-in user, who might not even have a password.The book doesn’t claim to be about PostgreSQL 10. However, PG 10 is mentioned in the text, showing that it was available at the time of writing. For example, the section on WAL vaguely mentions the idea of ‘tuning’ the transaction log in PG 10. Unfortunately it fails to mention that it’s been moved to a different directory in this version. Again, information which would be genuinely useful is simply missing.I haven’t read through the entire book yet, and it’s possible that there are some gems. What I have found, however, is superficial and chaotic. There are also endless typos and grammatical mistakes throughout the book, as is usual for Packt Publishing.Frankly, I am tired of computer books written by authors who don't care and published by publishing companies who care even less. This book cost $55 and was barely worth half that.

J'espèrai avoir des explications plus détaillées que ce que l'ont trouve sur internet. Hélas, il ne m'a pas été possible de parcourir ce livre car la version kindle ne présente que peu de pages et je me rends compte que le livre présente chaque fonction avec un rapide exemple très simple, sans plus avant de passer à la fonction suivante. Je regrette de ne pouvoir le rendre.
