Part I. Tutorial

Welcome to the Postgres Pro Tutorial. The tutorial is intended to give an introduction to Postgres Pro, relational database concepts, and the SQL language. We assume some general knowledge about how to use computers and no particular Unix or programming experience is required. This tutorial is intended to provide hands-on experience with important aspects of the Postgres Pro system. It makes no attempt to be a comprehensive treatment of the topics it covers.

After you have successfully completed this tutorial you will want to read the Part II section to gain a better understanding of the SQL language, or Part IV for information about developing applications with Postgres Pro. When learning SQL, you can use the demo database described in Appendix N. Those who set up and manage their own server should also read Part III.
