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.
