Preface

PostgreSQL Administration Essentials... that sounds interesting! I think these were the first things I had in my mind when I was confronted with the idea of writing one more book on PostgreSQL. And, voila, here I am writing those first lines of this new book on PostgreSQL. My hope is that this little book will serve you well—providing help whenever it is needed.

Since I started my career as a PostgreSQL consultant (www.postgresql-support.de), there has always been a demand for a short, compact book on PostgreSQL administration. No big bloated thing but a book dealing exclusively with what people really need in their daily life. A small thing people can have on their tables all the time and which can be used for everyday administration problems. I am glad that I got the chance to take a shot on a book like that.
