What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

"Instant PostgreSQL Backup and Restore How-to" is a concise cookbook containing eleven recipes. The first three cover logical methods using the client applications bundled with PostgreSQL, e.g. pg_dumpall, pg_dump and pg_restore. The rest of the recipes cover physical methods of backing up and restoring the PostgreSQL binary files with data and transaction logs, from the pg_basebackup application to using tar, rsync or Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM). My special interest focuses on the more advanced recipes for Point-in-time-recovery (PITR), warm and hot standby and streaming replication.The steps are easy to follow, conveniently complemented by explanations on how it all works and more ideas to explore. This cookbook is a great addition to my PostgreSQL library and I look forward to use it for setting up replication in a Linux environment. Note that this book is targeted mostly at the Unix/Linux users.

I just finished reading "Instant PostgreSQL Backup and Restore How-to". This great little book is packed full of quick and easy to understand tips and tricks. As a SQL Server and Oracle DBA who is dabbling in MySQL and PostgreSQL this book is a perfect addition to my library toolset. The book is a quick read, easy to understand and details everything a DBA needs to know if they are new to PostgreSQL or if they are a seasoned PostgreSQL DBA. I was familiar with many of the commands described in this book, but I also learned some great tips about how compressed backups, point in time recoveries, snapshots, replication and other more intermediate and advanced database topics are implemented in PostgreSQL. Overall, I would gladly recommend this book to any DBA looking to expand their knowledge in PostgreSQL Backups and Restores.

I recently was fortunate to receive an ePub copy of "Instant PostgreSQL Backup and Restore How-to" from Packt Publishing for review. The topic obviously high on the list of skills any DBA must master. And given my still relatively recent foray into the realm of Postgres from Oracle, quickly getting up to speed on this is certainly a top priority for me.From the outset, the book does not disappoint. Like any of you, I'm sure, I have a ridiculous number of tech books in my library. This, however, is my first publication from Packt. And I must say, I definitely enjoyed the short, directly to the point format. I'll likely be taking a look at other Packt titles if for no other reason than that.Author Shaun Thomas had my immediate gratitude and admiration for providing an extremely quick, concise method for creating a reasonably large database to work through the methods presented. Again, as a relative newcomer to Postgres, with no Postgres instances in use at my organization, I found this invaluable. And without any delay, you will roll right into the basics of backup of your databases. Full, partial, data only, schema info, specific tables... it's all there within the first few pages. In only a few minutes after beginning the book, you have enough information to have a backup of your database underway. Well done.At the time of this writing, I have not yet made it to the following chapters on more advanced topics. But there is no question I'm looking forward to them given my experience so far.I'd highly recommend this book. Its concise coverage of the backup and recovery of Postgres will have you up and running in no time. And who has time to waster when it comes to developing proficiency in anything data related these days.

Hat mir sehr geholfen, da ich hier den Einstieg für ein Backup, Migration einer DB per Backup und Restore gesucht habe und dies auch genau so wie im Buch beschrieben geklappt hat.Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es da es noch ein bisschen übersichtlicher sein könnte, das ist aber jammern auf hohem Niveau.Ansonsten sehr gut, gute Informationen detailliert auf den Punkt gebracht und nicht hunderte unnütze Seiten nur um möglichst dick zu sein, wie leider bei vielen anderen IT-Books. Sehr empfehlenswert, benutze es bei der Arbeit oft.

This was a quick read which introduced many valuable ideas and processes in how to backup and restore PostgreSQL databases on the command-line. The emphasis on the command-line is a strength since you avoid having your tools lock up on you or misreport success or failure and maximizes your flexibility.Why 4 stars? I think there was probably a better way to present the information. However, I will only vaguely criticize presentation as I think it is good this information is available in a consolidated text. The author does a great job summarizing the types of backups and types of restores you can accomplish for PostgreSQL. Read this book, and you will see that PostgreSQL maybe has one of the most flexible backup processes and one of the most recoverable database formats ever created.[...]
