Introduction to PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is a well-known open-source relational database, and its motto states what the project intends to be: the most advanced open-source database in the world.

The main qualities that attract masses of new users every year and keep current users enthusiastic about their projects are its rock-solid stability, scalability, and safeness, as well as the features that an enterprise-level database management system provides.

But PostgreSQL is not just a database; it has grown to be a whole ecosystem of extensions, tools, and languages tied together by communities spread around the world.

PostgreSQL is an open-source project and is fully developed in the open-source world. That means that there is no single entity in charge of the project and the result is that PostgreSQL is not a commercial product. In other words, PostgreSQL belongs to everyone, and...

I have been looking for a resource to streamline my learning of postgresql and also learn SQL at the same time on Ubuntu 20.04 which ships with Postgresql 12. I have been scanning through this book and it seems to have everything I wanted. Info on psql and intro SQL material. I do not see the major issues that the other reviewer saw. I think it is perfectly readable and wish I had not been discuoraged by those comments initially. It is also evident in the sample of the book that formatting is fine. Just take a look.

Ich liebe Fach-Bücher. Da kann man eine Randnotiz hinzufügen und auch ein paar Blätter einlegen, wenn im Inhalt mal was fehlt. Ich geniesse es, bequem im Sessel zu sitzen, anstatt verkrampft auf den Bildschirm zu starren.Nach 2 Tagen habe ich die Replikation und die Partitionierung mit Bedingungen eingerichtet.Inhalt ist gut strukturiert und ausreichend ausführlich, was bei "modernen Fach-Comics" anderer Verlage nicht immer der Fall ist.

El libro no entra en todas y cada una de las posibilidades de cada concepto y comando, enseña lo necesario para empezar de forma que no abrume, pero si cita donde se pueden ampliar los conocimientos.Me leí la documentación oficial, y para empezar y aprender es mejor un libro de estas características, luego cada uno es libre de profundizar mas en cada tema. Lo bueno es que como digo no abruma y da buenas explicaciones. Una vez acabe el libro, se consigue un nivel básico que ayuda a saber donde seguir para profundizar mas, de forma amena, pero sin escatimar en las explicaciones cuando hay que darlas.

Not too happy with this one. The writing is poor and the examples are confusing. Sometimes the examples don't even use the feature they are supposed to be showing. The whole thing feels unorganized and just thrown together in random order without much thought. It also lacks the depth that I was hoping for.

Not the author's fault but anybody intending to buy the Kindle version needs to know this. When you get to the part on SQL commands like insert and select, the number of characters per line decrease and decrease until there's only one per line. Simply unacceptable.
