Great book: very pragmatical approach with many configuration examples and still full of theory about how PostgreSQL really works.

Simon Riggs and Gianni Ciolli have put together a nice set of recipes as part of the PostgreSQL Administration cookbook. The approach of How to do it and How it works helps the reader to digest the details of the task. It provides comprehensive details on the areas that would be involved as part of database administration and could greatly help any DBAs looking to start on the PostgreSQL administration.

I had the opportunity to read the PostgreSQL 14 Admin Cookbook Simon Riggs and Gianni Ciolli published by Packt. After giving some weeks of not just reading but also using this cookbook as a guide on day to day Postgres problem solving, I am happy to share my view.I really like how the book is divided in concise recipes, from the most basic areas of Postgres databases and administration to the more advanced. Its structure makes for a digestible read, easy to identify and focus on a specific area of interest while providing a wealth of knowledge - one “recipe” often cites another which enables for a more holistic understanding and encourages the reader to “connect the dots”.This is a book that will most likely end up living on your desk and you will consult again and again.Whether you are new to PostgreSQL or not, adding this book to your collection is a no doubt decision and going through the recipes will certainly enrich your understanding of PostgreSQL mechanics.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
